The Bullying Breakthrough

Real Help for Parents and Teachers of the Bullied, Bystanders, and Bullies

De: Jonathan McKee

Narrado por: Tom Parks

In a world full of caring adults, how is it that we keep missing the cries of hurting kids?

“Today, when the bell rings, kids might leave their school campus, but they can never escape the other world, a world where mockers and intimidators thrive. Ironically, they carry a gateway to that world right in their pockets, because they see that world as an avenue of escape...but in reality, it’s putting them in bondage." (Jonathan McKee)

With chapters including:

• Digital hurt
• The escape key
• Why didn’t you say anything?
• Meet the principal real-world solutions
• And more!

An expert on youth and youth culture, McKee shares his own heart-rending story and offers a sobering glimpse into the rapidly changing world of bullies, bystanders, and the bullied while providing helpful ways to connect with these kids, open doors of dialogue, and give them the encouragement they need and the validation they're searching for...too often in all the wrong places.

The Bullying Breakthrough promises real-world help for dealing with today’s bullying culture.

Great information, Christian overtones

I am an educator. I found the information in this book helpful but was frustrated by the Christian overtones and comments. I was frustrated because the book had great advice, but due to the religious aspects I couldn't recommend this book to the parents of my students. Whenever I read a helpful book I like to include it in a list of recommended books for my students and their parents. I didn't feel like I could do that with this book. Loved the information and will still recommend this book to me Christian friends.

The book is mainly a complaint about bullying and does not explain the phenomenon in depth.

I didn't like the regular references to Jesus and the church as a defense against bullying. Explaining mechanisms is one thing, but advertising specific methods is another thing. Probably in countries where priests rule, this is relevant, but for secular states, secular methods are needed.

Ho hum

Repetitive, sermon-like but some usefull ideas. Not a breakthrough. Thinks the reason bystanders don't intervene is lack of empathy but doesn't consider if they have an effective intervention nor propose an effective intervention.
