Un libro sobre situaciones de la vida cotidianas que muchas veces damos por sentadas y naturalizamos, pero se traducen en maltrato.
El bullying existió siempre y desde siempre fue considerado cosa de niños, propio de una etapa, parte del proceso madurativo o de vivir en grupo. Es realmente una etapa o es una problemática social que hace estragos alrededor del mundo? Somos conscientes los adultos de la magnitud de la problemática? Qué tanto nos comprometemos los adultos respecto al bullying? Cómo respondemos a ciertas actitudes o reacciones de nuestros hijos? Tendemos a ignorar, a naturalizar o a enfrentar el problema? Es necesario validar como adultos los sentimientos y las emociones de nuestros hijos, eso es lo que hará la diferencia.
Bullying has existed since forever, and it has always been regarded as child's play, inherent to a certain age, part of a maturation process, or of living in a group. Is this really a phase, or is it a social problem that wreaks havoc around the world? Are we as adults aware of the magnitude of this problem? How committed are we regarding bullying? How do we answer to certain attitudes or reactions from our children? Do we tend to ignore, normalize, or face the problem? It is necessary to validate our children's feelings and emotions as adults, that's what will make a difference. Through witty and insightful vignettes, Virginia Durán drives us to laugh at ourselves, to stand before ourselves and examine our own conduct. Bullying starts with the little things we don't pay attention to. It is there that we can make a difference. Once it grows, it's much harder to put an end to it. It's the responsibility of adults to prevent bullying.
