Bullying and Cyberbullying, Second Edition: What Every Educator and Parent Needs to Know

Revised and updated to address shifts in the climate of bullying in schools and online, this timely work suggests anti-bullying approaches that are concrete, practical, and grounded in research.

In this deeply insightful work, nationally renowned bullying expert Elizabeth Kandel Englander offers sensible perspectives on student social behavior and equips educators and parents with effective strategies to identify and address bullying. This second edition of Bullying and Cyberbullying reveals how enormous social changes, increased digital connections, and a global pandemic have indelibly altered the psychological world of children—and in turn shaped their peer interactions.

Englander notes that effective school bullying prevention and intervention is rooted in a solid understanding of child development, social structures in schools, and the connections between online behavior and in-school socializing. Building on continuing research on smartphone and social media usage, online privacy, and sexting and other risky behaviors, this updated edition prepares educators and parents to identify gateway behaviors, anticipate bias-based bullying, and respond to aggression and harassment. Englander offers sage advice for promoting resilience, strong friendships, and healthy technology use, among other prosocial behaviors that can avert bullying among students.

This much-needed work provides an accessible framework for understanding and responding effectively to bullying and offers suggestions for collaboration between educators and parents.
