Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 6-10–Drew presents effective tools for improving conflict-resolution skills. Survey responses from more than 1000 middle school students provide the basis for her analyses of conflict issues. Scenarios are presented with tips on how to keep calm and become a problem solver. The author encourages readers to identify personal-conflict triggers and practice anger-management techniques that will result in the reduction of stress and a growth in confidence. Common problems, such as misunderstandings and teasing, are addressed, as are the more serious issues of bullying and sexual harassment. Tools such as visualization, relaxation, exercise, and repeating empowering statements build a framework for improving self-control. Boxed facts from cited works and quotes from the survey support the text. An annotated list of print and Web resources, a reproducible "Conflict Solver's Action Plan," and a comprehensive index are helpful features. Cartoon sketches appear throughout. This book would be useful for libraries and for peer-mediation programs. It will help youngsters to develop more mature coping skills and refines the concepts introduced in Gershen Kaufman's Stick Up for Yourself! Every Kid's Guide to Personal Power and Positive Self-Esteem (1999) and Trevor Romain's Bullies Are a Pain in the Brain (1997, both Free Spirit).–Sharon A. Neal, Immaculata University, PA

4.0 out of 5 stars How To Resolve Conflict: It's Not Just For Kids, December 5, 2004

By	Jon Linden (Warren, N.J. United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Ms. Drew's book is NOT just for kids. In the book, she explains how people can resolve conflict by using some simple and elegant techniques. In addition, the book is written for people ages 11 to 114. The book borrows mostly from the practice of Mediation. Mediation is a form of conflict resolution which uses a Neutral Mediator who helps parties come to a mutually acceptable agreement to end their dispute.

The literature of Mediation is filled with academic treatises using legal and Sociological words which make them often difficult for a regular person to read and integrate. Ms. Drew specifically did NOT write that type of book. Her book teaches concepts and methods by which people can help solve problems that are meaningful to them and others.

In doing so, Ms. Drew uses some special writing ability and her vast experience as a recognized expert in Peer Mediation and School Conflict Resolution. She writes her book in a vernacular using regular words to describe what she is telling the reader. She uses ethnic names of all nationalities to convey that all people can do this type of work, and all people are worthy of respect. She most effectively uses real life examples and information that she gathered from her work and from her survey of Middle School children all over the country. And she reaffirms the belief that everyone is hurt by conflict and everyone can help to fix that problem in society.

It is rare that readers come across a book that gives this much affirmation and assistance in regular life, and is suited for virtually all people in such a vast age range. The book is recommended for almost everyone who has an interest in helping reduce the amount of conflict in the world today. Not just big conflicts like wars, but also regular conflicts that we face everyday as people.

This book is truly a fine example of how people can take their own power and help not only themselves, but those all around them. All who have the wish to reduce pain and hurtfulness in society should read this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great guideline for students in the difficult times in which we live., November 25, 2007

By	B. A. N. Younger "info seeker" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a guidance counselor, this book, along with the companion version for
instructors provides a good resource to assist students with a major portion
of their problems that prodominately have conflict at the core. This is a
good resource for anyone working with children.
