According to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child from 1990, every child has the right to feel safe at home, at school, and in any community. Bullying is not needed in a child's life and, generally, this type of behavior does not go away on its own. On the contrary, it often gets worse over time, and it needs to be treated directly.

For this harmful behavior to stop, we must all intervene when it occurs and even take measures to prevent it from happening. The first step is to recognize the existence of bullying and to understand it.

The book, which does not pretend to be exhaustive on this topic, will give you some information that will help you recognize if your child or a child you know has been a victim or witness of bullying or a bully.

This information will also help you to act in order to end the bullying and to help the child who is victimized.
