5.0 out of 5 starsTruly Enlightening...
By Matt Weeber on September 17, 2001
Format: Paperback
Obviously, Ogden utilizes her quick wit and vast knowledge of the human psyche to bring the reader into the realm of the elementary school child's emotional state. It gives some terrific advice on getting your child to become more confident about themselves while handling situations that many of us at that age were intimidated by. Truly helpful and insightful, I definitely recommend it, and hope to see it become more in circulation on the Psychology shelves...

Obviously, Ogden utilizes her quick wit and vast knowledge of the human psyche to bring the reader into the realm of the elementary-to-middle-schooler's emotional state. It gives some terrific advice on helping your child handle situations that many of us at that age were intimidated by. Hopefully, this book becomes more circulated and popular on the Psychology bookshelves at the local bookstore, because it was definitely worth the read...

5.0 out of 5 starsA perspective change
By Mother's Intuition on April 15, 2008
Format: Paperback
This book is a diamond. After reading this book I feel I have a perspective change that will benefit me for the rest of my life. In the first half of the book the author does an excellent job of describing why we as humans compare our weaknesses to another's strengths and how that effects the way we communication to those around us.

Then in the second half she gives some priceless tips on how we can develop a strong positive confidence when dealing with another person who is just having a bad day. She teaches when and how to use "I" messages, negative assertion, neutral responses, broken record and how and when to out crazy the crazies.

My children and I have tested the concepts taught in this book and found them to be very rewarding. This is a book I will be referring to not only for myself but as I teach my children how to deal with life's unpleasant moments one positive response at a time.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis Is Definitely For Everyone . . .
By Poe on September 29, 2001
Format: Paperback
I' have had the pleasure of hearing Ms. Sally Ogden speak, so when her book was released on the market I rushed out and bought a copy. It turns out that "Words Will Never Hurt Me" is both the funniest and most informative of books on childhood and general psychology to come out in years. Using a blend of heavy experience (over twenty years of firsthand teaching experience), humor, and...psychology, Ogden has created the ultimate guide to understanding the mentality those gawkish pre-teen and teenage years. Containing both insights and tips, "Words" is also bar none the most user-friendly book on psychology and teaching ever published. On top of all this, Ogden's words of wisdom apply not only to teaching and surviving in the years of adolescence, but to life and humankind in general. Ever wonder why your nextdoor neighbor is such a jerk? Sally Ogden may just be able to help.
So, I'll put this simply: Buy this book. Really. As a teacher's and parent's resource it is invaluable, but as a sort of window into the psyche of people in general it also excels.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat book for your bullied child.
By Marchese Mom on October 16, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This was a fantastic book that was recommended to me by a counselor. My son felt that he was being verbally bullied by a lot of people and was coming home crying a lot. He wasn't handling things well and I was really worried about him. I read the book and found it very helpful and then shared the book with my son. It was amazing how after explaining how people "level" to make themselves feel better (we all do it and need to not do it) he understood those around him better and choose not to be offended. It also talks about how if your child cries and cannot stand up for themselves that they become a target. It helped me to get tough here at home and not let him use crying to try to sway me, as this only works against him in the real world. It is a great book and it really describes the issues with ways to help your child handle the situations successfully!

4.0 out of 5 starsLots to think about
By Chris Nelson on July 17, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I enjoyed this book because the author gives many tips for dealing with bullies that empower the child being bullied and help them keep them from developing a victim mentality. I like how she includes reasons why people bully and how to not take it personally. I also like how she advises that sometimes someone isn't being bullied, they are just sensitive to comments. This is a very thoughtful book.
