Kenley, H. (2012). //Cyber bullying no more: parenting a high tech generation//. Ann Arbor, MI: Loving Healing Pr..

This book is a parents guide to raising our children in a world where bullying has branched out into technology. It is even easier now than when we were young for children to bully others. My daughter was recently cyber-bullied by another girl in her class. I was unsure of how to handle things, even though as a teacher I have worked with families on these matters. This book will give me many tools of what to do with my children, how to talk them through issues, and how to handle "attacks." One aspect that looks very informative is where it discusses ways we can prevent cyber-bullying.

Shariff, S. (2008). //Cyber-bullying: issues and solutions for the school, the classroom and the home//. London: Routledge.

Fifth graders struggle with being kind and respectful to those that are different from them. There were a few times this school year where children in our class were cyber-bullying and the parents wanted the school to step in. It is hard to know our role as teachers and administrators. The description states that this book "provides practical educational responses to cyberbullying." This will be very useful in guiding us through our part in this battle. Also, I am hoping this book will give me ideas of how to teach the kids the impact that bullying has on others and ways to prevent cyber-bullying. This book seems like it will be very helpful in our fight to keep kids from being cruel and harmful to others.
