bullying is on the increase gone are the days when the bully would just be in the playground now theyre in your childrens sanctuary their home. Read the book and see if you recognise that inner child in you. An insightful, practical and very helpful book This book moved and impressed me on several different levels. First of all, it brought back old memories of when I was bullied at school (50 years ago!) - and made me cry. Would you believe that, after all this time, hearing the words: It's not your fault you were bullied could bring on the tears? Well, all I can say is that it did, and although I've had counselling and other kinds of help in the years since I was bullied, this book comforted me in a way I'd never quite experienced before. I wish my parents had had a copy of this book! I also wish I'd had a copy when my own children were at school. The author is honest about her own experience of being bullied as a child, and that is one of the things that gives the book its conviction and power. Her writing is clear and straightforward; her advice wise and practical. I'm sure that any parent reading this who is worried about their child being bullied will find it reassuring and helpful. It's full of information and advice - just what are the school's responsibilities and how should you approach them? Where else can you go for help? How can you help restore the self-confidence of a bullied child? What signs should you look out for? How can you make it easier for your child to talk to you? What organisations can help you and what should you do about bullying online? And what shouud you do if you fear your child may be bullying someone else? This is a resource book par excellence, but it's more than that - it's full of compassion, understanding, wisdom, insight and hope. I recommend it wholeheartedly. An Excellent Resource Jennifer Thomson's 'Bullying, A Parent's Guide' is a fantastic book. We can all, I imagine, relate in one way or another. And it is the relating that makes it exceptionally difficult when your child is being bullied at school - you don't want them to feel like you were made to feel, why would you? And that's exactly where this healing, calming, no-nonsense book absolutely comes into its own. You can take a deep breath and look at things in a more rational manner because of the way that the author has laid each topic out. It is easy to read and exceptionally helpful. What's more, from personal experience of our son being bullied
