Gail MatthewsGail Matthews is a concerned parent, not an academic. Gail is been concerned about the problem of bullying in schools
that her children attended. She
started to look for further information and was surprised at the extent
and serious effects that were linked to bullying from children and also
adults who had been bullied or were bullied in their adult lives. Gail decided to focus her book on bullying of children because that
was the area she has had some direct experience with. She
felt there was a need for a simple, non-technical guide with suggestions
that could be used by parents like wherever they were located. She
believes that this book will help people to assist their children by
encouraging them not to bully others and how to best deal with bullies
they encounter. Gail also shows parents some signs that they may indicate children
that are silent about bullying they encounter. She
also includes some suggestions about how to support the efforts of their
schools and other groups to reduce bullying and deal with its
effects. Gail believes the information she has gathered will be useful to
people, whatever their situation and location. She
says that bullying is a worldwide, growing epidemic.
She hopes her book will encourage parents and other interested people to take action about bullying and support its victims so that we can reduce the effects which bullying has on our society and our children’s future.
