The Mouse, the Monster and Me: Assertiveness for Young People

Engaging artwork and exercises illustrate aggressive “monster” and passive “mouse” behaviors, helping youngsters (ages 8 and up) identify these characteristics in themselves and in others. The “me” communication style, based on rights, responsibility, and respect, teaches healthy, non-violent conflict management skills that can help kids stop being or attracting bullies. This best-seller in six languages is widely used in "bully-proofing" and violence prevention programs. Reading this book with parents can open new channels of communication and deepen trust.
