The Ultimate Assertiveness Toolbox for Kids is a practical manual to help children cope with teasing, meanness and bullying. Presenting twenty different assertiveness tools that are proven to work, this accessible book aims to build your child’s assertiveness skills, foster independence and boost their self-confidence.
An educational psychologist and qualified primary school teacher with over twenty years experience working with children and their families, Jo Hamilton has developed this extraordinary Assertiveness Toolbox from workshops she has successfully run with kids, both privately and at schools.
Each tool comes with instructions on how it can be used, as well as clear descriptions of when not to use it and what to watch out for. A section dedicated to tools for bystanders will help children who witness instances of bullying know how to make a difference. Parents and children alike are given tips on how to combat and avoid cyberbullying, including suggestions on how best to manage electronic devices in the family.
