With new lessons, an added foreword, and a revised introduction, this updated edition of No Kidding About Bullying gives educators and youth leaders hands-on activities to prevent bullying in schools and help kids in grades 3 - 6 cope with the effects of bullying when it does occur. Based on a nationwide survey of more than 2,000 students and teachers, this flexible resource can be used alone or as a complement to anti-bullying and character education programs already in place. Each of the 126 lessons may be completed in 20 minutes or less and include games, role-plays, group discussions, art projects, and language arts exercises that build respect, empathy, and kindness. Digital content includes student handouts from the book and bonus materials. Praise for the previous edition of No Kidding About Bullying "This is an extraordinary resource. It should be in every single elementary and middle school classroom." -Maurice J. Elias, Ph.D., director of Rutgers University Social-Emotional Learning Lab and author of The Educator's Guide to Emotional Intelligence and Academic Achievement "Thank you so much for practical, 'heartful,' thoughtful, doable activities. I have been looking for resources like this for quite a while." - Laurie Bayly, elementary teacher, Victoria, British Columbia "If you are going to spend money - do it on this one. You will not be disappointed . . . you'll be empowered." - Roxanne Davidson, school counselor, Books That Heal Kids blog
