Reviews:
Terrific resource for parents and educators! Being bullied is certainly scary whether you're an adult or a child, but especially if you're a child. The book's section on Internet bullying is especially timely in light of recent controversy about MySpace.com and other sites utilized by teens.
Stories about bullies are followed by how you can help (your child, your friend, yourself). The various types of bullying are discussed, and there are quotes by now-famous victims of bullies: 2003 Miss America Erika Harold, actor Tom Cruise, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and actor Harrison Ford. This book is a valuable resource for parents, educators and students.

Parental involvement in the learning process can make a crucial difference in a child’s life. Often, however, despite parents’ best intentions—they lack the skills to help their child beyond learning the school curriculum. Fifty Nifty Ways presents a different approach, and offers fifty proven techniques and principles on how parents and educators can help the child become not only learned, but also a life long learner. Rather than being a passive recipient of information—learning how to learn is a dynamic and exciting method in which children process knowledge into real understanding and become independent thinkers.
