Workshop on creating a residence museum based on the book “Brown Morning” by Frank Pavloff

I am happy to present you the book by Taras Ivashchenko, a friend and consultant on our website mobbingu.net, a certified psychotherapist from Riga, and his colleague, certified psychologist Natalia Morozova, “The Chameleon Girl. Living with a mental illness and a history of recovery.” The hard copy of the book was published in Latvian by ZvaigzneABC and received good reviews from experts and readers. And now the book is available in Russian on LitRes.

The scientist draws very interesting analogies between the behavior of different vertebrate species and Homo sapiens behavior, which is why the book was published in the “Library of Foreign Psychology” series. Claiming that aggressiveness is an innate, instinctively determined property all higher animals, and proving this with plenty of convincing examples, the author comes to the conclusion: “There are good reasons to consider intraspecific aggression is the most serious danger facing humanity in modern conditions of cultural, historical and technical development.”

We read children's books while having fun and empathizing with the characters. But some good books for kids contain recognizable “case studies” that can and should be analyzed with children. A psychological children's book can become a child's friend.

Writer Daria Dotsuk shared with our website her story about child bullying, in which the story is told on behalf of a young persecutor.

One idiotic photo. One inappropriate comment on social media after an extra glass of wine. And now my whole life is going downhill. Just one sin, and a wave of popular rage is destroying everything in its path. This is the dark side of social media. Forbes Life publishes an excerpt from “So You Were Publicly Humiliated” by acclaimed writer and documentary filmmaker John Ronson, which will be released by Bombora in January.

The authors of the book “The Art of Retreating. How it helps in life, love and work” Peg Streep and Alan Bernstein (Minsk: Potpourri, 2014, translated from English by Yu.I. Gerasimchik) defy conventional stereotypes that make us fight to the bitter end and never give up. The authors argue that the ability to abandon the goal in time and leave is as valuable as dedication and perseverance. Using examples, they show how people who abandoned their goals in time, stopped trying to prove something, freed themselves from “tunnel vision” and gave up their fanatical dedication to the goal and perseverance in achieving it achieved success in life. When we stop fighting, we overload our minds and minds, give ourselves a break and are able to formulate new goals. Failure, followed by quitting and losing, often paralyzes us. Unable to give up their usual behavior — breaking into closed gates — people often find themselves in a vicious circle. They are accompanied by failures and disappointments. And, as a result, self-esteem falls and depression occurs. <br>

We continue to compile a list of children's and teenage books that are directly or indirectly related to the topic of school/teenage mobbing/bullying. I am sharing with you an updated list, which includes new books from 2019-2020. Children often don't pay attention to bullying and bullying at school because they are their age rotting a weak/other/stranger is considered the norm. Books and films on this topic can help children open up, let adults know that the problem exists. Read these books with your children, watch their reactions discuss and tell us what mobbing/bullying is. I'm sure these books should be included in extracurricular reading lists, and maybe in a circle school reading, as many of them have already become world and Russian classics literature.

A bold book for teenagers about things that are completely unromantic and shameful — about how the fear of ridicule from her classmates and the fear of losing her “social status” and becoming an outcast in her class pushes 12-year-old Nora to meanness.
