Riassunto

Does your child talk about being treated badly by his peers, and you don’t know what to do? Does the school tell you to make your child stop bullying, and you don’t know how? You’ll find concrete answers inside this book. For years and years we have talked about bullies and victims. We’ve talked about them enough that the words have shaped the lives of many people. It’s time for a whole new framework. No more will we speak of bullies and victims. No more will we give power to the idea that bullying is inherent in our society, or that “Kids can be cruel”. This new framework throws traditional bullying theory on its head, examining bully actions and victim responses, instead of labelling children. It teaches lessons that help each and every one of us, adult and child, stop ourselves from falling into either category. Use the information and lessons to learn the information yourself. Use the activities to teach the information to your children. People who communicate well and have developed a strong self-concept, balanced thinking, balanced approaches and empathy for others are less likely to use bully actions or victim responses. It’s simple. All children need the same skills. Children aren’t “bullies” and they don’t need to be “victims”. They just need to be provided opportunity to learn. All children need the same skills. “It was a pleasure to read your book and see how well you present your valuable ideas and strategies for removing the horrible effects of bullying behavior, victim behavior, and bystander behavior. Your writing is beautiful, clear, passionate, and meaningful. If all parents, children, teachers, and administrators could be exposed to your ideas and methods, we would soon have a safer childhood experience for all our loved ones.” Ralph Kilmann (Thomas Kilmann Conflict Indicator) *This book is part of a community wellness system created by Kelly Karius and Dr. Ron Graham, which includes this book for parents, lesson plans and strategies for schools, full community training (Community Immersions) and a website that supports schools, parents and community, an anonymous reporting system through TIPS Awareity and a safety app promoted by aBeanstalk.

Informazioni sull'autore

Kelly Karius Located in Canada, Kelly Karius began her career in child protection, in 1999. Seeing service holes from a system point of view, Kelly left soon after to establish a private practice in Melville, SK. Wearing several hats during that time, Kelly was an expert witness in matters relating to the custody and access of children; she performed adoption home studies, facilitated divorce and family mediation and provided extensive counselling services. She published her first book in 2004, “This is Out of Control! A Practical Guide to Managing Life’s Conflicts” using the helpful book to create conflict management seminars for several corporate structures. Kelly has written several more works, which can be found here. Within six months of starting her practice Kelly was asked to be an advocate on behalf of several children whose parents felt they were being mistreated and abused by a principal/teacher in their school. It was a difficult situation, and bully actions and victim responses could be seen in all of the participants in the drama, from students right up to the Department of Education. This early experience impacted Kelly’s career greatly, and while she was performing other tasks, the issue of bullying was never far from her mind. The combination of Kelly’s conflict management, counselling and personal experiences resulted in the creation of the No Such Thing as a Bully® Program. Ms. Karius has been writing and evolving the No Such Thing as a Bully® program for several years, while testing the material with people at a micro level. She has gained a wealth of knowledge and experience, which is successfully integrated into the products and services of the No Such Thing as a Bully® Program.
