Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. *I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion*There has been a lot of discussion both in the news and in schools regarding cyberbullying; most of the discussion seems to revolve around the reactionary, "How do we punish this behavior?" I am so glad to see this book offering a positive, proactive approach. In her book, Galit suggests ten rules to discuss with your tween/teen before they set out into the world of social media. Some of the discussion seemed to me to be common sense, such as: "If you wouldn't say it to your mother, don't post it;" however, I realize that in our fast paced, instant gratification, modern society that people forget this and act out of passion rather than taking a cooling off period before responding to negative comments. I would recommend this to all parents, both to read and follow the suggested discussion topics with your kids. Mine may be years away from getting their own Facebook account (or whatever the big social platform will be ten years from now), but I am glad to have this as a reference for future discussions. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I reviewed this for LibraryThing. As a parent of two teenage girls I thought I could bring a good perspective of this book to other parents. Breen does a great job at not only discussing her own experience with cyber-bullying but how this experience lead into her discussions with her daughter. Despite my own discussions with my daughters this was a great book in getting me to rethink what I say to them and how I say it. What we write as adults is an example we want to be followed.At the time that my youngest daughter was in 7th grade she received a direct threat through a school email from another student. While unbelievable as a mother, it brought the issue to light for the small school. Small school or large this is an on-going issue of serious concern for all of us, let alone our youth. This is a book that I think ALL parents should read as well as school personal. Gelit Breen wrote a 5 star book! Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. This is a terrific book for how to teach kids about maintaining an appropriate online presence. Lots of examples and anecdotes help to move the book along and there is a great set of resources at the end. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I received an early review copy of this book. Having no real clue what it was about (other than a quick summary), I thought it sounded interesting enough and wanted to read it. Boy am I glad I did! A quick read, but one full of valuable tidbits that I highlighted and noted in various forms. The information is not only useful to parents, but anyone with a social media account. Highly recommend this book!
An original perspective on the concept of cyber bullying. The author describes how we model the behavior exhibited by our children. She describes, and gives "screen shot examples", of what internet communication REALLY LOOKS LIKE, giving examples of comments made, and feeling received on the other end. A classy, relevant work, even if it is a little slow.
If kindness wins, accountability rules. The need for this mantra is never clearer than when scrolling through posts and comments left online. Approximately four out of ten kids (forty-two percent) have experienced cyberbullying. Cyberbullying isn't all that different from the playground bullying of our youth and nightmares. When we were young, our bullies weren't usually strangers. They were the kids who passed mean notes about us in class, the ones who didn't let us sit at their table during lunch, and the ones who tripped us in the hallway or embarrassed us in gym class. But with social media, our bullies have nonstop access to us--and our kids. In fact, we're often "friends" with our bullies online.When freelance writer Galit Breen's kids hinted that they'd like to post, tweet, and share photos on Instagram, Breen took a look at social media as a mom and as a teacher and quickly realized that there's a ridiculous amount of kindness terrain to teach and explain to kids-and some adults-before letting them loose online. So she took to her pen and wrote a how-to book for parents who are tackling this issue with their kids.Kindness Wins covers ten habits to directly teach kids how to be kind online. Each section is written in Breen's trademark parent-to-parent-over-coffee style and concludes with resources for further reading, discussion starters, and bulleted takeaways. She ends the book with two Kindness Wins contracts-one to share with peers and one to share with kids. Just like we needed to teach our children how to walk, swim, and throw a ball, we need to teach them how to maneuver kindly online. This book will help you do just that.

Things I learned-
*Model appropriate online behaviour and take the time to explain to your kids what you are doing online
* Practice identifying appropriate/inappropriate, kind/unkind comments with kids by looking at examples online.
*How to kindly and appropriately respond to negative comments and cyberbullying
*Best rule takeaway- We don't talk about bodies and we don't post pictures of our bodies- A good explanation is given for why we just shouldn't go there.
*Speak up against unkindness and bullying. I wouldn't walk away from someone who was physically hurting another person so don't walk away (scroll away) online.
There was lots more helpful advice and I appreciated the author's real life examples. Some of the technology might be outdated in a few years but the ideas will still be relevant. ( )
