Book Description
In Safe Hands: Bullying Prevention With Compassion for All is a hands-on blueprint to helping schools, parents, and the community at large address and solve the problem of bullying. This compelling examination of bullying includes real life examples and activities for implementation. The fact that the program introduced in this book was developed—not in response to the obvious and increasing need for bullying prevention and intervention in schools, but merely as a model of how all schools can educate children in safe educational environments—is what differentiates this book from other bullying prevention books on the market today.
Editorial Reviews
Review
Bullying is not only a hot topic, but a national problem that demands intelligent attention, prevention programs, and sustainable solutions. Sheri Werner’s In Safe Hands is a comprehensive road map to such solutions. Do-it-yourself books are sometimes boring, simplistic, or both. In Safe Schools is an exceptional combination of sensitive and engaging stories, comprehensive and practical activities, but most importantly–as its subtitle states–“compassion for all.”
In the blinding blizzard of opinion and commentary on bullying, at last a guide for parents and educators grounded in classroom reality and simple sanity. In Safe Hands is a space of calm in the storm, filled with practical suggestions that can be implemented immediately. Sheri Werner draws on years of experience as a mother and an educator to illustrate how to create safe and productive learning environments, locating this necessary work in an educational, and not a criminal justice, framework. This is a book for anyone who works with children today.
