    Great when you read with your kids
  

*by G***O on Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2011*

My daughter is only six years old, but she battles not so much with bullies, but with her perception of what people think of her based on how personally she takes things they say. I didn't find the part about dealing with the bullies too useful at this age, although sounded great for older kids because it is very broken down from why they might be acting out to what exactly you could say, but the information on how to deal with your own thoughts and realize when you or your child might have "everything is terrible" thoughts and how to deal with them is outstanding. I always say "try to stay and think positive and look at the bright side" but the tools they have here and the specific examples are broken down in a much more useful way that helps them understand HOW to make something positive. Being so young, I'm hoping she can adapt these tools and build on them for the rest of her life. Some of this would even be helpful for adults that are always seeing the bad side and expecting the worst. Reading it with her helps me to reinforce the ideas later on the way they explained it and I can also add a few examples of my own that are personally fit to her issues. The Thought Chop and But Twist are very strong tools that can change so much. For those two tools alone, I give this five stars, but there is so much more information in here to help kids deal with life. Not everything will apply to your situation, but find the stuff that does and you won't be sorry.

    Fantastic resource for kids in grade-school and middle school and especially for parents.
  

*by M***P on Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2019*

I am so glad I took a chance on this little book! What a gold mine. My 8-year old son and 12-year old daughter highly recommend it, as do I (I’m 45). My son was being teased for being small for his age and a little hard to understand (tools 11, 12, and 14 were spot-on and help a good deal). My daughter is having trouble making friends at her new school and feels there must be something wrong with her or she wouldn’t be having such a hard time (the section on making and keeping friends and tool 19, the thought chop, is helping her work through this). I agree with the other reviewers who said it’s a helpful refresher for parents as well. The writing is simple and funny, and the examples, which are mostly school-related, are great. My second grader can read this book himself. We all read the book and practiced the strategies together. This  book can help open avenues of communication between you and your kids and give them the tools and confidence to handle common problems.

    Sticks and stones in karate classes
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2009*

I've used "Speak Up and Get Along" as an in-class textbook for my Karate students, both children and adults, with great success.The simple lessons and role-play exercises are easy to understand, and simple to use, even with children who are just starting to read.  The organization of the book, using various types of birds as images to illustrate an entire suite of social skills, is very helpful as well -- the tools of the Blue Jay are all about being assertive when you need to.  I've recommended this book to a number of my professional colleagues, many of whom are using it with their students (and children) as well.A useful companion volume is "Sticks and Stones", also by Scott Cooper.  It shares the same basic structure, with additional explanations, scripts for parents/teachers, and additional role-plays.A word about the role-plays:  be prepared to practice with them several times to really internalize the skills involved.  Running through them once or twice and then just moving on to the next thing is won't get you very far in acquiring usable skills from the text.  Practice with them over and over, just as you would to learn a new martial arts technique.  Don't confuse understanding the various tools here with the ability to actually use them -- that takes dedicated practice.
