BULLYING
Did you know that more than one in four children directly experiences school-based violence and many more are affected indirectly?
Read this story and gain a better understanding of bullying and its effects and see practical ways of relating, listening and speaking to children about this common source of anxiety
The Girl Who Was Once Afraid of Bullies tells the story of how eleven-year-old Sarah Moore, tormented, terrified, and convinced she couldn’t face another day in school, found strength and courage in recognising, naming, understanding, and confronting bullying.
This story is based on research about what bullying is, why it happens, and what can be done when it happens.
The Girl Who Was Once Afraid of Bullies is the fourth story in Understanding Children Series 1, a research-based, accessibly-written series of stories for adults to read with children, or for children to read themselves. The stories
•give the reader a better understanding of children’s common fears and anxieties,
•model good ways of relating, listening and speaking to children,
•provide practical ideas about how (and how not!) to communicate with children, especially about their fears and anxieties.
The stories deal with fears and anxieties about a range of subjects including monsters, dogs, conflict, body image and Santa Claus. The communication strategies in the stories, however, are relevant to any topic or issue.
Workbooks, seminars and online courses also available. Further details from
