“All children will benefit from No Fishing Allowed! The explanations and strategies are based on a thorough review and understanding of the research literature, but are also based on an intuitive understanding of how children think and relate to each other. I strongly recommend this program to teachers as an enjoyable and effective strategy to reduce bullying and teasing.” Tony Attwood, Ph.D., world-renowned author of autism resources “Bullying can be found in every school in the world. No Fishing Allowed uses many kinds of bait—a multi-media presentation, bibliotherapy, pointed class discussions—to teach kids how to respect their peers and when necessary, report bullying to an adult. No Fishing Allowed makes the very difficult job of teaching bullying concepts to kids a much easier task to handle, and when the curriculum is completed, every child who has used it should be safer and happier.” Liane Holliday Willey, Ed.D, author of Pretending to be Normal: Living with Asperger Syndrome
