Review Detail

"Time to Tell 'Em Off!" offers effective strategies for coping
with schoolyard bullies. In addition to revealing how she was teased and
bullied as a child, Deanna Miller is living proof that a bullied child
can grow into an attractive and confident adult.

Because children will identify with Miller's story, they'll be more receptive
to her advice on how to develop self-esteem, understand "bully psychology,"
and let off steam after a bully's verbal or physical attack. Ultimately,
what Miller offers is a toolset that will help kids confront their attackers
and stop the bully in his tracks.

Let's face it: we've all been bullied at some time in our lives. Most
children and parents will identify with this book. Even those who throw
their weight around will gain perspective into their behavior and compassion
for the targets of their abuse.

"Time to Tell 'Em Off!" is available as an e-book and is a must-have
addition to your family library. I wish that I'd read a book like this
when I was growing up. It would have helped me understand how bullies
pick their targets and what I could have done to ward off their attacks.

While I can't turn the clock back for myself, I can help my children
deal with the inevitable before they're even faced with it. Although "Time
to Tell 'Em Off!" was written with fifth graders through twelfth graders
in mind, I think that younger children can benefit from reading some portions
of the book. Don't forget: bullying starts early. Teach your child how
to deal with bullies before the bullying starts.
