Violence Proof Your Kids Now by Erika V Shearin Karres
With images from the Columbine tragedy etched in our minds, America is facing a crisis of epidemic proportion. Disaffected youth are rapidly becoming the norm, while grades and self-esteem plummet and violence in our schools escalates. We all want to keep our kids safe, but what can we do? We can't lock them in the house forever.
In Violence Proof Your Kids Now, an award-winning, nationally recognized school violence expert shows every parent and teacher how to identify and deal with the current youth crisis. Erika V. Shearin Karres, a survivor of the twentieth century's single most violent episode, the Holocaust, consciously chose to become an antiviolence expert. She has distilled her thirty-plus years of research into eight tell-tale signs of a violent child and offers seventy-seven successful strategies to keep our kids safe.
