It's one of a very few books that puts a practical spin on the subject. It doesn't consider bullies who shove and kick, but it has got some useful tips on how kids can use verbal techniques to turn a bully's slurs inside out. It's a bit of a stretch to think kids this age will want to start an anti-meanness club, and it's difficult to fully accept the author's suggestion that taking the sting out of bullies' words may help bullies see the error of their ways. But this is certainly a place to start when fighting back seems in order, with the ideas and the wordplays recommended giving victims just the edge they may need to begin to recoup their self-esteem.\" - Stephanie Zvirin\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Book Helps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nEvery young person will need this book at some time in his or her life. Whether dealing with playground teasing, classroom conflicts, or prejudice, children gain practical tools to handle difficult social interactions with confidence.","brand":"Rainbow Books, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50681185370386,"sku":"9781568250298","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_a894f07e-dc93-4967-82a0-6dfe42c9902e.jpg?v=1733950133","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/how-to-handle-bullies-teasers-and-other-meanies-a-book-that-takes-the-nuisance-out-of-name-calling-and-other-nonsense-9781568250298","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
