Tough Kids are frequently regarded as bullies, but they can also be victims of bullying. Research suggests that schools must provide training to students during elementary years in order to stop aggressive behaviours before they get more serious.
The Tough Kid Bully Blockers Book shows teachers and other staff how to prevent and reduce all forms of bullying, from gossiping and exclusion to physical aggression and cyberbullying.

Bully Blockers includes a field-tested set of 15-minute lessons, carefully crafted to teach students six skills proven to reverse bullying. More than 50 reproducible posters, forms, homework assignments, and worksheets make the program easy to implement and customise.
"Teaches strategies for students to monitor themselves. Students who are victimized learn to stand up for themselves."
