Learn the truth about bullying in the 21st century: what to look for, and how to cope with the social problems facing today’s kids. Whether dealing with bullying issues or worrying that they might occur, parents are faced with more challenges than ever before. In the age of the internet and social media, traditional approaches to bullying haven’t kept pace with new realities, and new problems like cyberbullying have emerged. Parents searching for ways to prevent or cope with bullying are flooded by a deluge of advice, opinions, and strategies—often conflicting or, even worse, potentially harmful. 25 Myths about Bullying and Cyberbullying helps parents understand the causes and consequences of bullying, determine if something is truly a problem, and effectively deal with problems when they arise. This practical guide enables parents to appreciate how modern digital environments impact a young person’s communication and relationships, recognize the most prevalent types of psychological bullying and cyberbullying, and know when and how to intervene. The author dispels common myths related to the confronting of bullies, victims seeking revenge on bullies, keeping kids off their phones and computers to prevent cyberbullying, the links between bullying and suicide, and many others. Backed by the most recent work in bullying and cyberbullying research, this book helps parents: Understand what causes, prevents, and stops bullying and cyberbullying Tell the difference between bullying issues and normal ‘growing pains’ Recognize the signs and effects of psychological bullying Know when intervening is helpful, and when it can be destructive Reduce social anxieties and the potential for bullying issues in children and young adults 25 Myths about Bullying and Cyberbullying is an important resource for parents of school-age children and young adults, as well as staff in educational environments.

Volkonski lasteluuletused sobivad ettelugemiseks nii lasteaiaealistele kui ka algkooli õpilastele. Kuna luuletused on kirjutatud trükitähtedega, siis sobib see raamat suurepäraselt ka lugema õppimiseks. Lustlikud ja väikse vimkaga värsid vastavad paljudele küsimustele, mille üle lapsed juurdlevad. Näiteks miks on lehmal saba, aga inimesel mitte. Või miks kaovad asjad. Või miks ei pea kartma pimedat tuba. Värsiraamatusse on joonistanud pildid Mari Paberit.
Miks tegelikult: – osa lapsi ropendab? – toad ise segi lähevad? – lapsed omavahel riidlevad? – vahel õppimata on? – riided, põrandad ja lapsed ise määrduvad? – vahetevahel und ei tule? – mõnedel lastel küüned näritud on? Sellest ja paljust muust kirjutab lõbusas juturaamatus “Tattnokk ehk lapsed pole milleski süüdi!” kahe lapse isa Tarmo Tuule.
Kuidas õng ise püüab? Mis mäng see tüdrukute ja poiste vahel käib? Mida arvab vihmauss? Kus ei ole kala, aga on? Mis juhtub, kui kallid naised undavad? Mis on paadi ja kalda vahel? Millal kala võtma hakkab? Kuidas püüdmata püüda? Mida kingib kala mees? Kui väike on tegelikult suur? Sellest ja veel rohkemastki kirjutab kaasahaaravas ja mõtlemapanevas juturaamatus “Nii suur kala!” kahe lapse isa Tarmo Tuule. Raamat on mõeldud põhikooliõpilastele ja täiskasvanutele. žanrimääratlus: täiskasvanute ja laste raamat

Üle pika aja on ilm suviselt soe. Tiril ja Oliver õngitsevad Vanasadamas ja märkavad kolme paati, mis üksteise järel ranna poole triivivad. Paadid on tühjad ja mitte miski ei viita sellele, kes on nende omanik. Detektiivid Tiril ja Oliver asuvad koos Ottoga asja uurima ja jäljed viivad nad varjulisele Suvesaarele. Jørn Lier Horsti ja Hans Jørgen Sandnesi krimilood lastele on kujunenud noorte lugejate menusarjaks. Jørn Lier Horst kirjutab põnevalt ja tõepäraselt väikeses Elvestadi linnas toimuvatest kriminaalsetest juhtumitest. Sarja peategelased on Tiril ja Oliver – ja koer Otto –, kes koguvad asitõendeid, otsivad seoseid ja satuvad kurjategijate paljastamisel ohtlikesse seiklustesse. Hans Jørgen Sandnes täiendab lugusid värvikate ja detailirohkete illustratsioonidega. Iga raamat lõpeb järelsõnaga, mis kutsub lugejat oma detektiivioskusi proovile panema. Raamat on sarjast „Detektiivibüroo nr 2”.
