The Bullying Breakthrough: Real Help for Parents and Teachers of the Bullied, Bystanders, and Bullies
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.
“Everything Jonathan McKee writes is excellent, but this is his most important book thus far. Bullying has become a massive problem in schools, homes, and on social media, and the many initiatives out there haven’t made much of a dent. As the parent of a bullied middle schooler, I was desperate for help but found little that would actually work. In this vitally important book, Jonathan presents an essential guide to preventing and stopping bullying behaviors. Every parent, school administrator, teacher, pastor, and counselor need to keep this on hand as a vital tool.”
