Does your child suffer from a bully's nasty little attacks? A child may suddenly absolutely hate going to school - and you haven't a clue as to the reason. Even kindergarteners can be bullies or victims. Here are some books to help.
Learning Bully Protection

371.58 FRIED Bullies & victims : helping your child survive the the schoolyard battlefield.
