Dr. Mason Discusses Her New Book, Bullying No More: Understanding and Preventing Bullying on Sprigeo.com
Bullying among children today is a prevalent issue that can lead to tragic results. More than 141,000 U.S. students stay home from school each day from fear of bullying. No parent wants to learn his or her child is involved in this type of behavior, but sadly, in the most heartbreaking cases of bullying, many parents never realized the extent of the problem until it is too late.
In Bullying No More, Dr. Kimberly L. Mason offers techniques to end the cycle of bullying. Rather than assigning blame and doling out punishment (response tactics which rarely work in these cases), Mason focuses on changing behavior by repairing relationships.
