    In this episode, Izzy Kalman discussed bullying, what does not work to stop bullying, and how to help your child respond to bullying more effectively.

    Israel “Izzy” Kalman, MS, has been a school psychologist and psychotherapist since 1978. He has developed a quick, fun and powerful system for teaching people how to solve interpersonal problems, including bullying, without anyone’s help and without getting anyone in trouble. He is director of Bullies to Buddies, Inc., creator of the Bullies to Buddies Golden Rule System, and author of a book for youth called Bullies to Buddies: How to Turn Your Enemies into Friends, as well as a number of other publications and video programs for kids and adults. He is the lead author of the Be Strong Resilience Program. Izzy writes a Psychology Today blog called Resilience to Bullying, and has been the world’s foremost critic of the anti-bullying movement, warning since the Columbine massacre that the “war against bullying” will backfire. History has been confirming his predictions.

    More than 50,000 mental health professionals and educators have attended Izzy’s full day seminars on bullying and anger control. His articles have appeared in newspapers, magazines and journals, and he has presented at many professional conferences. Izzy is a sought-after expert on bullying for radio and TV shows. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Good Morning America and TEDx
