5.0 out of 5 starsA Must Read for Every Teen and Adult
By Sandra K. Stiles on March 22, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition
I originally agreed to read and review this book because it sounded like something I needed on my school shelves. I had no idea how right I would be. This book was written after two major events in
the author's life. The first event involved an article she had written for The Huffington Post. She suddenly found herself a victim of cyberbullying. The second event was her daughter wanting to post things to social media. Because of her previous experience she realized how important it was to teach her daughter social responsibility on social media. This review came at a most opportune time in my school year. We recently had a group of kids making negative comments to each other through something as simple as clapping. Clapping toward a person was the same thing as calling them a very negative name. When I spoke to each of my classes and explained that this was a form of bullying and would not be tolerated and that administration had been alerted to this form of bullying it stopped, or so I thought. Two days later a young lady asked to show me her Instagram. She was upset by the next level these students had taken the clapping. They were told to mention the name of the person and to send the clap on through to their followers to gather claps. She was very disturbed by this. For this reason I am glad I read the book this weekend.

This book has taught me a parent of grown children and a teacher several things. First I need to make sure I check and double check my own responses. I need to take time to address my students on the issue of social responsibility on social media. I've seen several of them on Facebook and I have had private conversations about what they are posting.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsKindness Wins Never Goes Out Of Fashion......and that includes the WWW world
By Louis Lawent on March 14, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition
Technology changes but parenting skills do not. Parents simply have to adjust to informing their children that the basic kindnesses and considerations need to be shown in the social media world they live in today. It's easy for kids to be sucked into the immediacy of their internet hang-outs but at times self-censorship applies. Being a good person applies. Author Galit Breen gives parents the tools to use to teach their kids how to navigate the online world. If the kid makes a mistake? Own up to it. What's appropriate and what's not. What should be private? How to keep safe? This book shows the reader the real WWW social media world and how to approach it. She provides her own non-WWW life experiences as excellent segues to what transpires in the WWW world and how those age-old social rules remain the same. Also, Galit shows visual examples (web shots) of the "games" kids are taking part in. This rings home how hurtful kids can be and how they should respond when these "games" are there for their taking. Don't forget, your child could be bullied or maybe is being hurtful without even realizing it. It doesn't seem quite so real when you are looking at a screen. Communication is vitally important not only between parent and child but between you as an adult and the adults in your social circle as you can compare notes and gather different approaches. We're all in this together. The book is a must read for parents who want to invest themselves in their childrens' present and future.

5.0 out of 5 starsFull of great ideas
By N.B. on April 2, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition
Kindness Wins is not just a book for parents of teens. Breen makes a great point that social media is here to stay and that getting some influence over our kids' opinions about how to behave online should start early while they're still listening to us more than they're listening to their friends. What I loved about this book was all the concrete examples of what is helpful and hurtful online and how to have these conversations with our kids. It's very easy to assume our kids are nice and would never hurt anyone's feelings, but all know that kids (and adults) have dark moments and make bad choices. Breen provides many examples of how these choices could haunt kids for a long time. She also gives idea for ways kids can lift each other up online. I loved her idea of teaching a kid to notice if someone is being ignored online and to go ahead and be the first to "like" or comment. These little tidbits and ideas are the magic of this book. Highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 starsKindness wins, accountability rules and this book rocks
By Shannan Younger on March 13, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition
Parenting tweens and teens is hard, and social media offers many twists for age groups that already feels like a bit of a roller coaster. No matter how technology changes, though, we are always going to want to raise children to be kind, good people who creative positive change in the world, be it online or in real life. White knuckling each and every photo or message is no way to go through life, for parent or for child, and I love that Galit Breen offers actionable items that will help parents loosen their grip because they know they have taught their children what they need to be good and kind digital citizens and be same offline. I love her focus on accountability. Galit's unique perspective as a mom, former teacher, and recipient of unkind comments online make her voice an especially important one in this conversation. This book reads like talking with a girlfriend who not only gets how hard it can be but who also knows how to make it easier.
