Stick up for Yourself! Every Kid's Guide to Personal Power and Self-Esteem

by Gershen Kaufman, Ph.D., Lev Raphael, Ph.D., and Pamela Espeland - £11.99  Free Spirit Publishing, Inc (1999)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781575420684 | ISBN 10: 1575420686

First published in 1990, this perennial best-seller has helped countless children build self-esteem and assertiveness skills.

Newly revised and updated, it�s the ultimate resource for any kid who�s ever been picked on at school, bossed around, blamed for things he or she didn�t do, or treated unfairly � and for any kid who sometimes feels frustrated, angry, powerless, or scared. Simple words and real-life examples show how children can stick up for themselves with other kids (including bullies and teasers), big sisters and brothers, even grown-ups.

Kids learn how to build relationships, become responsible, manage their anger, grow a �feelings vocabulary,� make good choices, solve problems, set goals, and �store� happiness and pride. Questions from real kids are paired with answers about how to handle specific situations calmly, confidently, and effectively. A special note to parents and teachers explores the �self-esteem backlash� and explains what self-esteem really is � and why kids today need it more than ever.

A wealth of practical, encouraging, realistic advice, this empowering little book is also recommended for parents, teachers, and counselors.
