This book teaches girls how to spot bullying and how to stand up and speak out against it. Quizzes, quotes from other girls, and "what do you do?" scenarios present advice in an age-appropriate, digestible way. The message in this book is that there is no one right way to deal with bullying. Instead, there are lots of options for girls to try, from ignoring a bully and trying a few clever comebacks to reporting bullying to a trusted adult. Readers learn how to stand up for others and be a good friend, too. The book ends with a pledge girls can sign, plus tear-out tips for girls to share with their parents.

Excellent Tool for Girls and Parents,

This review is from: Stand Up for Yourself and Your Friends: Dealing with Bullies and Bossiness and Finding a Better Way (Paperback)
My daughter was being bullied at school, and we were having a difficult time in finding the right words for her to use to stand up for herself. This book helps the victim use assertive words, but not words that would get her into trouble or add to the problem. It reinforces worth and self-esteem, and features realistic advice (not just "walk away," but when to talk to parents and teachers). Also, it talks about standing up for when someone else is the victim, which further empowers young girls. There is a parent's guide in the back. Also, it is recommended for 9 and up, but my daughter is 6. Unfortunately, "mean girls" are getting younger and younger.

Great book, not just for bullies or bullied,
This review is from: Stand Up for Yourself and Your Friends: Dealing with Bullies and Bossiness and Finding a Better Way (Paperback)
I also bought this book for and read it with my 6-year old, and it was written in simple enough language for her to understand and appreciate. I found many of the definitions in the book useful, not just for her 'mean girl issues' (and we have many) but also for everyday. The book defines bullying as pretty much any behavior that's intended to make you feel bad, tattling as talk that's intended to make someone look bad, and telling as a solution or a way to get help. We use these definitions frequently as a way of encouraging kind behavior with her friends and sister. And because it's from American Girl, to her the source is just so much more credible than her parents! I really recommend this for pretty much any girl, regardless of her circumstances, from age 5 to probably 12 or 13.

This review is from: Stand Up for Yourself and Your Friends: Dealing with Bullies and Bossiness and Finding a Better Way (Paperback)
I bought this for my 12-year-old daughter as she has been having problems with bullying at school. I've been reading "Queen Bees & Wannabees" by Rosalind Wiseman. Good, but not really practical for a 12-year-old to read. I wanted my daughter to have a book that will give her ideas and help. I've read through this book and find that it has just what I was looking for. It teaches what bullying is, how to stand up for yourself in the right way, when ignoring a bully works and when it doesn't, when to seek help from adults and how to stand up for other people, which I think is so important. It has real experiences from girls that she can relate to. This would be an excellent book for girls ages 8-14.
