Mom, They're Teasing Me: Helping Your Child Solve Social Problems

From the acclaimed authors of Best Friends, Worst Enemies, here is the perfect companion volume: a practical, how-to guide for parents to help their children navigate the sometimes harsh terrain of social life at school, on the playground, and in the neighborhood.

Almost everyone agrees (and remembers): Childhood can be a traumatic time. Kids frequently face peer rejection, name-calling, bullying, after-school fights, esteem-crushing cliques, and malicious exclusion by the popular kids. And parents often feel powerless to console their children. Now help is here. Mom, Theyâ€™re Teasing Me is a specific, hands-on guide for concerned parents who want to give their children the tools they need to cope with social cruelty. Through vividly written case studies and a reader-friendly question-and-answer format, this compelling book shows parents what a child may confront with other children, and then offers concrete advice on handling each situation.

Mom, Theyâ€™re Teasing Me deals in-depth with specific aspects of social cruelty: the four major types of children at risk for social isolation and their unique problems; the ordinary pain of those children not at riskâ€”but who, nevertheless, cause their parents concern; and bad class dynamics in the school and neighborhood. Through thoughtful discussion and insightful suggestions, parents will discover

â€¢ The difference between real risk and normal social pain
â€¢ The appropriate time to interveneâ€”and when to step back
â€¢ Tips on how to mediate between childrenâ€”without appearing meddlesome
â€¢ Essential advice for parents who worry too much
â€¢ The importance of teaching and encouraging leadership
â€¢ The redemptive power of friendship

Mom, Theyâ€™re Teasing Me answers key questions on the many manifestations of social cruelty, offers compelling descriptions of prime â€œteasingâ€ scenarios, and illustrates how to counter them. It is an indispensable book for every involved parent who wants to make their childâ€™s formative years rich and rewarding.
