Great "how to" book for educators for preschoolers
Research and practical experiences on the topic of bullying have indicated a great need for intervention by educators. The book cites a study which indicated that 71% of the time the people in charge were uninvolved although they were present. This book is a valuable aid in changing that unfortunate picture. The activities in this book were carefully researched and pilot tested by experienced educators. It is highly recommended that educators study the introduction, how to use the guide, tips for being sure children understand the vocabulary and concepts, the carefully selected list of websites and children's books, etc. The violence in older children usually has its beginnings in the early years. This book offers hope for having a positive effect before the patterns of violence become firmly established.

A "must-have" for anyone charged with fostering safety and harmony among groups of preschool children
Barbara Sprung, Merle Froschl and Dr. Blythe Hinitz are three experienced educators pool their wisdom in The Anti-Bullying And Teasing Book For Preschool Classrooms, a quite straightforward guide to creating a caring environment at school and properly responding when negative social behaviors such as teasing and bullying assert themselves. Offering over 40 activities designed to help control teasing and bullying by fostering friendship, community, and positive interactions, The Anti-Bullying And Teasing Book For Preschool Classrooms stresses the importance of family involvement, community, feelings, and friendship. A positive-minded, extremely practical, "must-have" for anyone charged with fostering safety and harmony among groups of preschool children. Very highly recommended reading for school faculty and administration.
