Description
We are used to seeing bullying as a problem of confrontation between two sides: an “aggressive” bully and a “reticent” victim. But bullying is a whole ecosystem, which is influenced not only by the relations of children, but also by the relations between children and parents, parents and teachers, school rules and norms, school atmosphere, traditions, modern historical events, etc. Therefore, to understand the nature of bullying, it is necessary to understand how the group functions and what is the internal driver for the bullies. The author describes in detail the causes and types of bullying, the role of each member of the group, as well as the role of adults who are moderators of social interaction between children. How should teachers work with students who have behavioral and emotional disorders? How do parents talk to children who are bullies or are being bullied? Why and how should parents and schools cooperate to minimize the negative impact of bullying on children’s lives and health? What should a school become in order to be free from bullying? Answers and step-by-step instructions are on the pages of the book, which will forever change your attitude to this problem.
