Good book to discuss bullying with your child.

If your child has been bullied it may help them discuss it when looking at the different situations in the book. If your child had not been bullied it is a great “what if…” book.  ”What if this happened to you? What would you do?”   What if this was happening to one of your friends, what would you do?”

The book starts out by saying that bullies usually look like everyone else. Bullies don’t always hurt your body – they can hurt your feelings as well. It also talks about how adults can be bullies too.

It does not offer solutions other than saying it is good to talk to someone about being bullied, and that feeling good about yourself is probably the best way to stop bullying.

I would say this book is a good overview of bullying. It would be a great discussion starter for school or home. I think if your child is being bullied this book will not give them a lot of answers, but it might give them some comfort knowing they are not alone.  The back of the book has some other resources that might help.
