SuEllen and Paula Fried, pioneers in the field of child peer abuse, offer concrete information leading to the problem of bullying in our society and practical solutions to prevent it. These include early testing for physical problems that, left unresolved, can mark children for possible victimization; counseling solutions for children who are bullies, victims, or both; training for children in social skills, anger management, and conflict resolution. The authors instruct families in support services, creating nurturing environments, teaching respect for children and animals, and emphasizing nonviolent family activities. Schools can, among other things, adopt conflict-resolution programs and create a committee to clearly define and enforce rules governing unacceptable behavior.
