Just For Kids
Stick Up for Yourself! :Every
Kid’s Guide to Personal Power and Positive Self-Esteem (Revised
and Updated
Edition)
Gershen Kaufman, Ph.D., Lev Raphael, Ph.D., and Pamela Espeland.
First published in 1990, this perennial best-seller has helped countless children build
self-esteem and assertiveness skills.
Newly revised and updated, it’s the ultimate resource for any kid who’s ever
been picked on at school, bossed around, blamed for things he or she didn’t do, or
treated unfairly—and for any kid who sometimes feels frustrated, angry, powerless, or
scared. Simple words and real-life examples show how children can stick up for themselves
with other kids (including bullies and teasers), big sisters and brothers, even grown-ups.
Kids learn how to build relationships, become responsible, manage their anger, grow a
“feelings vocabulary,” make good choices, solve problems, set goals, and
“store” happiness and pride. Questions from real kids are paired with answers
about how to handle specific situations calmly, confidently, and effectively. A special
note to parents and teachers explores the “self-esteem backlash” and explains
what self-esteem really is—and why kids today need it more than ever.
