"Lots of times we focus on helping the victims, but Walter Roberts addresses how to help parents of children who are bullying, as they need tips rather than 'shaming.'" -- Brigitte Tennis, Headmistress & Eighth Grade Teacher "The strengths of Working With Kids Who Bully are the vignettes posed, the reflection for analyzing the "bullying" situation, and the suggestions, almost specific guidance, for responding in a timely and "empathetic" manner." -- Dana Salles Trevethan, Interim Superintendent
