A new book for parents and educators on school bullying                               

Many books have recently been written about bullying in schools, but few, if any, have attempted to combine what has been learned from research with what it would be useful for parents to know about peer victimisation in schools. This book attempts to show how parents and educators, principally teachers and school counsellors, can work together to reduce bullying and the associated distress which many children experience from bullying at school.

It has been acclaimed by  distinguished researchers in the field in England, Norway and the United States. 

"There are books about research on bullying, and books that offer advice with only minimal reference to research. This book brings the two together - a practical book for parents that makes full use of the extensive research evidence available. An invaluable resource!"
Professor Peter K Smith, Goldsmiths, University of London

"As a father, this book moved me because after reading it I understood more about a parent's pain and anger when their child is involved in bullying. As a former teacher, I learned how bullying can appear different depending on the observer's role. And as a professor, I was impressed with the book's theoretical level and analytical power. It is exceptionally well written and stimulates both brain and heart."
Professor Erling Roland, University of Stavanger, Norway

"...a refreshing and practical guide for adults who are helping children navigate the difficulties and intricacies of the bullying dynamic. Dr. Rigby eloquently proposes that in order to reduce bullying among children, the adults in their lives must recognize that bullying is a complex dynamic, a social relationship problem, and one whose solution requires a serious examination of societal expectations, moral issues, ethics, and our philosophy of human relationships. Children and Bullying challenges our thinking about bullying and has real potential for reducing bullying among children."
