Publisher's Synopsis
Bullying. It often starts young-before children can identify or express what is happening. By understanding that, we can help children learn skills to better navigate bullying situations-whether they are the ones bullying, the ones being bullied, or the bystanders. Heroes in the Classroom: An Activity Book About Bullying, based on the ORP book Classroom Heroes, provides an easy, practical, and developmentally appropriate way for parents, teachers, and administrators to begin the bullying conversation with elementary school aged children. Each page of Heroes in the Classroom depicts part of a bullying scenario, often asking children to assess the situation and describe what is happening, while challenging them to develop empathy for those involved. Carefully crafted to generate conversation in a thought provoking yet non-judgmental way, Heroes in the Classroom is an important tool that will be helpful for parents and teachers in addressing the bullying epidemic that 1 in 7 elementary school children face today.
