Very insightful---eventhough I only have a 3 1/2 year old, I was anxious to read this book. It was helpful in defining the characteristics of both bully and victim. It speaks to both child AND parent with helpful tips in a workbook format. This will be one that I keep handy when my son starts elem. school!
