All About Bullies and Bullyproofing

School violence, shootings, playground and neighborhood attacks, and cyber-bullying are very real threats for today’s children. A sense of personal safety is basic to emotional health and essential for a child’s happiness and success at school and within the community. It is sabotaged whenever bullying occurs. Waiting for the police to solve everything isn’t the answer. There many steps concerned parents and school personnel, as well as victimized children themselves, can take to minimize the risk of bullying.

Taylor has become a renowned author and premiere authority on child-rearing and family life. Children and teens with ADHD are over-represented as both victims and perpetrators of bullying.
