The Bullying Antidote is the first parenting book to explore bullying and other abusive behaviors in the context of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Most people don't realize that their own childhood experiences influence how they raise their children. Negative patterns tend to repeat from one generation to the next. Since many Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are a result of unskilled parenting and/or unresolved parent trauma, learning new tools and skills can change negative patterns for an entire family. When we raise emotionally healthy children who are respectful, responsible, and resilient, we can break the cycle of harm. This life-saving book gives parents a course of action to prevent their children from being bullied and from becoming bullies, and to prevent other dysfunctions as well. Positive parenting practices that focus on needs, connection, and strength building, that provide clear limits and support, create children who themselves are the antidote to bullying. Unlike other books on bullying, The Bullying Antidote identifies the problem as a deeply-rooted power dynamic that is fostered by common and wide-spread parenting methods in many cultures. The playful idea of "Zorgos" as a superpower helps parents prevent their children from being bullied, or from becoming bullies. These positive parenting principles included in this hopeful and encouraging book are proven by neurological, psychological, and sociological research to be best practices for raising children who are mentally and emotionally healthy.
