School Behavior Problems When We Have Problems: A Guide for Classmates

Classmate problems can be disruptive to a school environment. Students are typically encouraged to ignore troublemakers and to go tell if they feel bullied.  Although sound advice, many students remain troubled.

This book teaches self and relationship skills to help with both improved self-identity and social connecting.  Devastating experiences from classmate struggles can be minimized. When offered the explanations of these skills and encouragement to practice them, many students can find relief from their classmate problems.   As classmates improve their use of these self and relationship skills they find themselves empowered.  Self-esteem increases and interactions with others become more positive.

The older school-aged child, preteen, or teen can read this book on their own. And, this book can be incorporated into the treatment plan by the school or community counselor, clinical social worker, psychologist, play therapist or other mental health professional.
