Product Description
Newly revised and updated, it’s the ultimate resource for any kid who’s ever been picked on at school, bossed around, blamed for things he or she didn’t do, or treated unfairly—and for any kid who sometimes feels frustrated, angry, powerless, or scared. Simple words and real-life examples show how children can stick up for themselves with other kids (including bullies and teasers), big sisters and brothers, even grown-ups.
Kids learn how to build relationships, become responsible, manage their anger, grow a “feelings vocabulary,” make good choices, solve problems, set goals, and “store” happiness and pride. Questions from real kids are paired with answers about how to handle specific situations calmly, confidently, and effectively. A special note to parents and teachers explores the “self-esteem backlash” and explains what self-esteem really is—and why kids today need it more than ever.
A wealth of practical, encouraging, realistic advice, this empowering little book is also recommended for parents, teachers, and counselors.
Stick Up for Yourself: Every Kid’s Guide to Personal Power & Positive Self-Esteem
I thought this would be a good book until I read the paragraph telling kids not the set goals too high and keep expectations realistic. I tossed it after that.
Shouldn’t kids be settting high goals for themselves and working to achieve them? Even if the goals seem unrealistic, should anyone really tell a kid his expectations are too high?

this is an important work. I’ve submitted it for consideration by the youth education faculty at my church.
Rating: 5 / 5
I read this book and discussed it with my 9 and 12 year old sons. It’s well explained and is an eye opener to feelings and thoughts that children do not often think about.
Rating: 4 / 5
First found this book in the library; a librarian found it when he did a search to find books that might help my son deal with bullying in his school. I read it, because book seemed to uninteresting to read to my 6-year-old; I found the book really helped me! I liked the layout, and the anecdotes, and the information was clearly and engagingly presented. When I use the book to work on my assertiveness, I expect my self-esteem will improve at the same time.
My children will benefit when they come accross the book in our home when they are older.
Rating: 5 / 5
This is an excellent book. My son and I read a little bit of it at bedtime and keep a notebook to jot down our thoughts. It has improved his self-worth and it has helped me relearn social skills that I should be using in my own life.
