160,000 AMERICAN CHILDREN STAY HOME FROM SCHOOL EACH DAY TO AVOID THEIR BULLY
There is much talk about, and many books written on the subject, but it seems bullying in schools is getting worse, instead of better.
Beat a Bully Without a Fight is about preventing bullying and how parents can help their child overcome this problem that can lead to depression, ostracism, and worse…
Rather than punishing children for not getting along, this book advocates for teaching both the bully and the bullied to resolve conflict peaceably.
The secret is solving the conflict when the problem is small.
This book brings perspective and understanding to this serious state of affairs that plagues our society
Bullying is all too prevalent in today’s society
Turn on the news and you see a bully. Adult bullies are more experienced than kids because they’ve had their way for years. They have their tactics down pat. The boy that got away with bullying the kids on the playground is now a full-fledged leader, a boss, a politician, a CEO of a company.
It isn’t just school children that want to say home from their bully. How awful going to work each day, knowing you will be harassed, yet again. Or in a rotten relationship where you never know from one minute to the next what to expect with your house-mate’s behavior.
The tips in this book are not just for parents to understand their child’s bully.
If you find yourself in a situation where you don’t want to go to work, don’t want to get out of bed, don’t want to face the day because you are living with constant angst about someone in your life messing with you, it is time to take stock of your priorities and figure out a way to get rid of your bully.
Children do not have the emotional capability of dealing with such trauma. They internalize their problems and blame them on themselves. It doesn’t help matters when they are constantly told how stupid, ugly, or fat they are. Teased about their clothing, their sexual orientation, the way they walk.
People who bully will do just about anything possible to humiliate you. It makes them feel like they are “somebody.” We know this, but it is hard to process when your mind is rumbling from humiliation. Social pain is real. The pain you feel from rejection is not “all in your head.” The pain is in your heart, your mind, and your body.
This is no way for anyone to live. What do you do if your child is faced with a bully and no one is taking them seriously? If the situation cannot be resolved, for your sake and your child’s, take them away from the situation.
The longer you live in trauma, the deeper the chasms of that trauma are ingrained in your brain. It is up to each of us to protect our person, our peace, our energy from harmful and toxic sources.
If you won’t eat a poisonous plant, why would ask yourself or your child to have a toxic life?
