Gail Pursell Elliott's "School Mobbing and Emotional Abuse" is so effective because it addresses the real cause of bullying. Once the heart of the problem is understood, Elliott then gives proven strategies that teach children not to engage in bullying behaviors. They gain a richer understanding of themselves and this leads to an acceptance and new-found tolerance of others. This book is important for anyone working with children and youth.

I love this book and its timely message for improving the quality of relationships in schools. In "School Mobbing and Emotional Abuse," Gail Pursell Elliott addresses the 800 pound gorilla in the classroom and the playground: disrepect, a lack of kindness and a silent killer of self-esteem and confidence.

As I read the book, I recalled some of the very painful experiences of disrespect I had as a school child - both in grade school and high school. Now an adult, I have had the grace to reclaim my own dignity - but with hard work, healthy companions and positive relationships.

In 2009, the issue of disrespect seems to have become even more common in society - in traffic, sports, neighborhoods. Seeing it - stopping it- preventing it has only one answer - treasuring others with dignity and respect.

Every parent and teacher should read this book to make sure that their children grow up in an environment with love and kindness. Why let your kids suffer and grow up with negative consequences.

My wife and I create a nurturing atmosphere of words and actions in our home for our daughter. And she is becoming one of the brightest, most talented and confident kids one could ever hope for. Treating each unique person with dignity and respect. For a lifetime of happiness.
