Can anyone recommend a book regarding bullying in school and how to stand up to them.

[bouncy]

My son is 7 and want to get a book that he can read about bullying and the best way to deal with them.

TIA

Just received Junior magazine this morning, a book is recommended called "When your child is bullied" An essential guide for parents" by Jenny Alexander published by Pocket Books £7.99 - apparently an updated version.

I know it is for parents but there may be useful stuff for your lo. HTH

Hi Bouncy,
Sorry to hear your son is having a rough time. I bought a book for my daughter called "Bullies, Big Mouths and so called friends" from Amazon. They did a pink covered version for girls and a blue one for boys.
My DD was 9 at the time and her experience was more big mouths and so called friends putting her down than physical bullying but I know she found the book useful - she still dips into it now.
HTH

this charity and website is very good kidscape

It is also very much worth going into school and asking for the problem to be looked at

and some areas there arementoring schemes

thanks I have purchased a coupl eof books from amazon. Thanks

Yes I can! A book called 'The Little Book Of Retorts- a teenager's guide to beating the bullies'. It gives lots of advice on improving confidence and standing up to bullies, with a great illustrated section containing loads of examples of actual retorts-what to say in reply to specific comments. It is suitable for children aged from 10 upwards, although I recently spoke to a Mum who said her 7 year old thought it was brilliant. It is available either as an ebook or in PDF version.
