Introduction

This book starts from the principle that the phenomenon of bullying is not new or related merely to schools, but rather a problem that has always existed and must be acknowledged as something related to the whole education and social system. Teaching children about how to deal with bullying is important for their whole life and can change their future, while increasing their probability of obtaining a happy life. Following such paradigm, the book focuses on the application of four principles to deal with this issue from different angles, and more precisely parenting and teaching. These four principles are mutual respect, self-esteem, equal needs and basic rights, as well as the golden rule of onto others as to you. They are used here as tools to promote compassion and acknowledgement.

This is a book intended to guide parents and teachers in dealing with this problem with a creative mindset, helping in not just solving the problem in itself, but also contribute with better values for the next generations.

Regarding the approval, it’s meant here the acknowledgment of the situation. Because many parents do allow their children to continue being victims of abuse, by not knowing how to deal with it or disregarding the issue, and there’re also parents that actually promote bullying behaviors in their children as a way to raise their own self-esteem.

Children: This perspective concerns the dynamic in interaction, which will change, depending if the situation is occurring between girls or boys. The main point here, however, is that we must study both the past and future within the dynamic, namely, how it started and what we can expect from it. Different reasons demand different solutions, therefore, it’s not wise to think about only one. Besides, depending on what we want to educate in children, our behavior has influence in the study of the whole situation.

Reasons: the variety of reasons makes the whole topic of bullying extremely complex, namely, because it refers to problems that we, as adults, face continually in a society that has not solved them in any way. As an example, students that are gay or appear to be, students that are somehow different, either in a negative or
