Children and Bullying by Ken Rigby

Children and Bullying: How Parents and Educators Can Reduce Bullying at School Scarcely a day goes by without reports of school bullying or recommendations for quick fixes to the problem. Parents and educators are often left trying to solve a difficult issue without sufficient evidence to support suggested remedies. Children and Bullying is a vital resource in the quest to create safe learning environments. Drawing on a wealth of research, Ken Rigby provides clear explanations and effective strategies for combating bullying among children and preventing children from becoming involved in bullying situations. Offers a collaborative approach to the school-based bullying problem Emphasizes the crucial role student bystanders can play in countering bullying, and how to promote positive bystander behaviors Examines contentious research, such as the role genetics or parenting in early childhood may play in creating bullies and victims Answers to FAQs by parents in the final chapter are often controversial but intended to stimulate thought

?This is simply the best, most up-to-date, most detailed and most thoughtful book about school bullying that you could hope to find? (Research Papers in Education, August 2009)

?It is a book for parents that draws extensively on research as well as being a practical manual that offers strategies to prevent and combat bullying. The book will certainly be a helpful one ? to educators as well as parents ? .Ken Rigby?s lucid writing style makes it an easy book to read ? .The author?s laudable aim ? to produce an academic book, research-based but accessible to a non-professional readership ? is an aim that is manifestly achieved. Children and Bullying contains a refreshing balance of anecdote and information, research and strategy. As a parent it is, for me, reassuring and eminently practical. As a teacher it provides a clear sense of direction in terms of what has been successful in other schools ? .And as someone who now who works with both teachers and parents, it is a book I shall recommend to both without hesitation.? (Educational Psychology, November 2008)
