A Teacher's Guide to Stick Up for Yourself

This empowering little book is for any kid who's ever been picked on, bossed around, or treated unfairly -- and for any kid who sometimes feels frustrated, angry, or scared. Simple words and real-life examples teach assertiveness, responsibility, relationship skills, choice making, problem solving, goal setting, anger management, and more. Children learn how to stick up for themselves with other kids (including bullies and teasers), siblings, even grown-ups. They discover how to grow a feelings vocabulary and store happiness and pride. A special note to parents and teachers explores the self-esteem backlash and explains what self-esteem really is -- and why kids today need it more than ever. The revised and updated Teacher's Guide reinforces and expands the messages of the student book with a step-by-step curriculum in ten easy-to-use sessions. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
