Teachers Without Borders on 27 Mar 12Gary R. Plaford's Bullying and the Brain: Using Cognitive and Emotional Intelligence to Help Kids Cope is aimed at addressing such questions. "Numerous books have been written about bullying, but most of them deal only with external intervention-those that suggest teaching students more appropriate social skills," asserts the back cover of Plaford's book. This summary goes on to list important expansions that this work targets including: "internal interventions"; strategies for "monitoring and controlling bullying behaviors"; the "latest research on the brain and emotional intelligence"; new insights into managing "emotional triggers"; as well as cultivating "connections and an outward focus" among students (Plaford, 2006, back cover).
