Product Description:
'Every day after that, Danny does something to frighten Craig....Craig is smaller and far too scared to tell even his parents, let alone his teachers. He is miserable. And every day, Danny tries harder to make it worse.'

On the internet, on playgrounds, and in schools across the country, thousands of elementary and middle school kids are picked on, teased, and harassed by bullies. It's something that can jeopardize a child's development -- unless they have the tools to help stop bullying in its tracks.

In Jay McGraw's Life Strategies for Dealing with Bullies, McGraw helps kids identify potentially harmful situations and deal with bullies through tips, techniques, and examples that apply to real-life situations. Jay doesn't just speak about the bullies -- he also speaks to the bullies themselves to help them change their ways.

Jay takes a no-nonsense approach to bullying and the ways readers can handle it. This timely and much-needed book will be the tool kids across the country can use to stop being victims -- and take back the power in their lives.

- An Important Topic and A Good Beginning
This book is written for kids - middle-school age to read on their own. There is relevant information for all ages, parents, teachers and schools. Each chapter offers a "personal bully story", Jay McGraw's thoughts and then a chapter review with journal exercises. In the earlier chapters, I found myself appreciating the true story/scanning the review and the journal entries for kids to try. I felt that Jay's thoughts droned on, repeated himself a lot and could easily lose a young reader. Chapter 3 starts attending to strategies and solutions that kids really can explore and I think this is when the book becomes more engaging and helpful. I found helpful and relatable information throughout the remaining chapters and respect Jay for doing this book for kids. In today's society, this book (and perhaps others like it) should be devoted to class work to bring this issue into the daylight of importance as no one ... Read More

- Nothing new, but a good primer for a child being bullied
The most important piece of information this book describes is how weak the bully actually is. I hope Jay McGraw is able to write a future book on how the internet has created a more pervasive and more dangerous form of bullying and the strategies for coping. Now THAT would be an important book. I hope that he does explore this growing problem.

- Quite Diluted and Strange
While this book looks at the bullying from many sides, it is quite boring and wastes quite a bit of space on obvious facts. It also seems to go too far in its definitions: basically, anyone who doesn't do what you want them to do falls into the author's definition of a bully.

It may be OK for a school or kindergarten teacher if they need a quick list of bullets on any topic related to bullying.

- Great Book!!
I don't care for the author's father much so I was a little skeptical about Jay's abilities. Boy did he prove me wrong! The author is employs a very reader friendly lay out to explain every chapter of bullying (cyber bullying, physical bullying, verbal bullying, etc). I'm a therapist and work with children and adults and see the ramifications of bullying and it is a serious topic. I loved that Joy pointed out that laughing along, or not stopping YOUR friend who is bullying someone IS actively participating in bullying as well. Too many kids use the cop out "I just watched or I just laughed". All in all a must for parents and direct service providers (teachers, social workers, therapists, etc)
