About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts navigating complex playground dynamics or expresses confusion about why peers can be unkind. This guide moves beyond the simple 'ignore them' advice, instead providing a clear framework for identifying bullying in its many forms, including physical, verbal, and social exclusion. It is a vital tool for parents who want to empower their 7 to 9 year olds with the language of agency and the confidence to seek help when they feel unsafe. Through a direct and supportive tone, the book emphasizes that bullying is a behavior, not a fixed identity, making it a safe choice for both victims and those who may be experimenting with mean behaviors themselves. It focuses on empathy and justice, ensuring children feel seen and supported while learning to set healthy social boundaries. This is an essential conversational starter for building a resilient, kindhearted social foundation.
