In today's world of parenting, one needs to be brought up to speed with the latest ways kids bully kids. This book gives parents a contemporary guide for communicating with their children and reducing the probability of their children becoming targets. The tweens and teen years are far more challenging to navigate as a child than a generation ago. This book will be a valuable navigation guide for both the child and the parent.
