Children and Bullying: How Parents and Educators Can Reduce Bullying at School

?A well-written, well-structured book. Rigby designed this book as a resource and includes a variety of quick reference tools? ?Not only would parents who are facing this issue with their own children benefit from this book but also all parents would be well served to understand the dynamics of the issue, as it is likely that their children will eventually be at least bystanders, if not victims or bullies, themselves.? (The Family Journal)

"Children and Bullying is first and foremost an accessible book ? an easy one to read. It covers all the ground that one would expect in a book on bullying." (Educational Psychology, November 2008)

“There are books about research on bullying, and books that offer advice with only minimal reference to research. This book brings the two together – a practical book for parents that makes full use of the extensive research evidence available. An invaluable resource!”
–Peter K Smith, Goldsmiths, University of London

“As a father, this book moved me because after reading it I understood more about a parent’s pain and anger when their child is involved in bullying. As a former teacher, I learned how bullying can appear different depending on the observer’s role. And as a professor, I was impressed with the book’s theoretical level and analytical power. It is exceptionally well written and stimulates both brain and heart.”
–Erling Roland, University of Stavanger, Norway

"...a refreshing and practical guide for adults who are helping children navigate the difficulties and intricacies of the bullying dynamic. Dr. Rigby eloquently proposes that in order to reduce bullying among children, the adults in their lives must recognize that bullying is a complex dynamic, a social relationship problem, and one whose solution requires a serious examination of societal expectations, moral issues, ethics, and our philosophy of human relationships. Children and Bullying challenges our thinking about bullying and has real potential for reducing bullying among children."
