Too Smart For Bullies by Deputy Sheriff Robert Kahn and Sharon Chandler



This is a Children's Safety Book.   This book tells children how to deal with bullies.  

The authors clearly describe and define a bully and bullying.  They also address how to address bullying.   Their primary defense is to tell a trusted adult.   They list trusted adults.    They explain what may cause a person to be a bully which will engender some empathy and understanding instead of more negative emotions.  

Bullying is sadly not something out of old sitcoms but a daily problem.   I would have liked to seen some examples of bullying that were not focused on the physical type of bullying.  Emotional and cyber bullying can be just as devastating.    I think the author's use of tests and suggestions for role playing are excellent.   As a former teacher and current kindergarten volunteer and I see how successfully repetition is for the younger child.

I recommend.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
