Therapists' Acclaim for Cyber Bullying No More
"Rather imply that families can return to some idealistic less complicated time without Facebook, sexting, social networks, and Twitter, and whatever else comes along, Kenley's booklet will help parents mitigate possible harm to their children as they integrate this technology hopefully into healthy lives and relationships."
--Ronald Mah, M.A. LMFT, author of Difficult Behavior in Early Childhood and The One Minute Temper Tantrum Solution

"Holli addresses children's readiness for technology as well as rules, contracts and education for parents to consider for their children as they introduce or allow entry of new technology into their lives. Cyber bullying and victimization are concerns addressed as well as internet resources for parents, with tools for protection, interventions and prevention--a must for parents in our technological world."
--Lani Stoner, Marriage and Family Therapist

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical steps to combating cyber bullying, December 10, 2011

By 

Thomas T. Piperson - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cyber Bullying No More: Parenting A High Tech Generation (Growing with Love) (Paperback)

I find Holli Kenley's book above all to be a practical guide for parents. She presents concrete steps for preventing and dealing with cyber bullying that will guide parents through the maze of the technological world that most kids understand far better than their elders. I especially like the importance placed on face to face communication in all phases of contemporary life. Not only are children likely to spend too much time with their technology, but consider the amount of time the average adult watches TV or DVDs, and fails to talk or listen to other members of his family or friends. Posting your activities on Facebook is no substitute for a heart to heart talk with a parent, friend or trusted relative.

For parents needing help with dealing with cyber bullying, or looking to keep their children from falling into that trap, this book is highly recommended.
