How do you help your child deal with the effects of teasing? Should you step in or stay out of it? Through vividly written case studies and a reader-friendly question-and-answer format, Mom, They’re Teasing Me is full of specific, how-to advice for parents to help their children navigate the terrain of their social life–which includes name-calling, after-school fights, esteem-crushing cliques, and malicious exclusion by the popular kids. Parents will figure out how to tell the difference between real risk and normal social pain, the appropriate time to intervene–and when to step back, tips on how to mediate between children, without appearing to butt in, the importance of teaching and encouraging leadership and power of friendship.
Mom, They’re Teasing Me answers 40 key questions about the many forms of social cruelty, offers parents descriptions of prime “teasing” scenarios, and illustrates how to counter them. It
is a must-have book for involved parents who want to make their child’s
formative years rich and rewarding. I definitely recommend it.
