 Excellent book December 14, 2007
I have found this book to be vital in preparing children to deal with the inevitable conflict that they will face in the school yard and in life. As a martial arts teacher, I am concerned that by simply teaching physical techniques to children we are only teaching them how to fight. The content of this book gives numerous concrete examples of how children can navigate through a sea of bullies without resorting to their physical training. By practicing the "12 ways" described in the book, children are taught to think on their feet and manage situations by first understanding and ultimately by out thinking the bully. The physical skills accumulated in martial arts class lend to the development of the confidence to be able to use the mental techniques covered in the book.
From my view, this is a perfect match....Strong yet gentle!!
Helping Students and Parents deal with bullying ... August 22, 2007
I have used this book to teach 100s of Martial Arts students about conflict and how to resolve it without using violence. It has helped me and my students understand there are many options to solving conflict. Many parents and students return to me saying "The lessons you taught me and the books from Dr. T have helped me focus on the important things in school, keep the bullys away, and find good friends". School teachers have commented how the children from my classes share the lessons from the books with other students and have helped spread the peaceful ways accross the community. I highly recommend this book and others from this author.

I have had GREAT! success with this book. In fact, the success was actually documented in a case study with several children. If you are any kind of teacher at all, you will find this book useful. I think it gives children a number of options to manage conflict. I also think if we taught our children more from this author's books and programs, we would all be more peaceful people and actually be able to live with each other, (there's a concept)no matter how different we are! It is not a passive response...it is a SMART response!

I first met the Author in the late 1980's. I have since employed much of his work within the many programs I have done.
Dr. Webster-Doyle has enormous experience as both a psychologist (with background in Youth related work), and as a experienced Martial Artist.
Psychologists might not fully understand the synergy with martial arts, and many (most, I'm sorry to say) martial artists do not fully comprehend the many ways Body & Spirit are driven by Mind. I have used this material in many public & Private Programs, from NYC Bd of ED programming to Community Non-Profit Organization & Commercial Martial Arts Programs. I recommend it highly.

Terrance Webster-Doyle's books are a great help for teaching youth the art of non-violence which is, essentially, the essence of Martial Arts. Anyone who criticizes this basic premise just doesn't get it. Terrence Webster-Doyle does, that is why he is a respected educator and Master worldwide.
