Bully-Proofing

About the Book

The most excellent way!

At last, a sensible approach to bullying; one that breeds respect and keeps children’s and adults’ dignities intact.

This book is a potpourri of stories, anecdotes, ideas, challenges, sound concepts, and effective strategies that may well revolutionise our thinking about bullying.

Bullying can be defined as a repeated, persistent, or systematic action by one or more people that violates another person’s rights to feel safe and be respected. Bullying is all about power imbalance. Bully-proofing is therefore about balancing the power.

The BUZ Gimme 5 Tactics for Bully-proofing © rebalances the power through a collective of strategies that empower children. Along with other level-headed proposals and ideas, it has the potential to make our schools, communities, and homes places where children are safe and treated with respect.
