Give your kid skills to manage bullying now!
“I wish I had had this book when my eldest daughter had problems asserting herself at school!” ~ Tina Otte
20 tools to help children cope when faced with meanness or bullying, 20 proven strategies to teach assertiveness to even the most reticent child.
The Ultimate Assertiveness Toolbox for Kids is written in a friendly, easy-going tone that will appeal to kids, but even parents and other adults will find these tips useful. Jo highlights respectful, thoughtful responses to unkind words or deeds, helping the unsure child grow in confidence while tapping into their smarts.
Each tool is delivered with descriptions of situations in which it might be useful, as well as when a tool should perhaps not be used and things to watch out for.
Written by a school psychologist with teaching experience, The Ultimate Assertiveness Toolbox for Kids will be valuable to parents and teachers too.
“This manual is an invaluable resource for young victims of bullying. Moreover, the assertiveness tools presented in this book will be useful for the social development of any child.” Dr Brendan Belsham, child psychiatrist
“All children can land up on the receiving end of meanness from time to time, and the ideas contained in this book are practical and great conversation starters for parents and teachers alike.” Nikki Bush, creative parenting expert
“This toolbox compiled by Ms Hamilton is so timeous, relevant and necessary. Ms Hamilton’s Ultimate Assertiveness Toolbox for Kids give children who are victimised a wide repertoire of behaviours to help them appear assertive without being seen as unnecessarily aggressive or provocative.” Professor Andre Venter, developmental paediatrician & head of department, Paediatrics, University of the Free State
