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.
