When Children Make Other Children Suffer

Prevention and fast help in cases of bullying and stalking

Bullying and stalking experiences among children and teenagers are widespread in schools and the digital sphere, but they also occur between siblings. Many sufferers are to embarrassed to speak out, even to their parents. Parents, in turn, sometimes find it hard to tell whether they are dealing with severe bullying or normal conflict.
The child and adolescent psychiatrist and psychotherapist Michel Elpers shows parents and caregivers how to help prevent bullying, how to recognize its hidden signs, and how to deal with concrete incidents. Bullying and stalking experiences are not to be taken lightly, as they can lead to anxiety, depression, or psychosomatic complaints.
With the help of many case studies, he advises parents and their children what they can do: Have conversations with the school, help them make decisions when choosing counseling or therapy, strengthen their self-esteem. Dr. Elpers also explains the psychological motives of perpetrators in order to provide a comprehensive explanation of bullying and stalking. In addition, there are checklists for parents, younger children, and adolescents, both in the book and for download, as well as a chapter that directly addresses children.
