Bucketfillers For Life - Giveaway

Child bullying is a very serious problem these days.

According to iSafe.com:
Bullying is no longer about the strong picking on the weak in the schoolyard. The physical assault has been replaced by a 24 hour per day, seven days a week online bashing. Savvy students are using Instant Messaging, e-mails, chat rooms and websites they create to humiliate a peer. No longer can parents count on seeing the tell-tale physical signs of bullying—a black eye, bloody lip, torn clothes. But the damage done by cyber bullies is no less real, and can be infinitely more painful.

Cyber Bullying Statistics
42% of kids have been bullied while online. 1 in 4 have had it happen more than once.
35% of kids have been threatened online. Nearly 1 in 5 have had it happen more than once.
21% of kids have received mean or threatening e-mail or other messages.
58% of kids admit someone has said mean or hurtful things to them online. More than 4 out of 10 say it has happened more than once.
53% of kids admit having said something mean or hurtful to another person online. More than 1 in 3 have done it more than once.
58% have not told their parents or an adult about something mean or hurtful that happened to them online.
Based on 2004 i-SAFE survey of 1,500 students grades 4-8

If you want to turn your kids, or any kids on to KINDNESS, get this book! True Bucketfilling Stories: Legacies of Love is quite new but has an impressive number of 100% 5-star reviews on Amazon.

I would love to win this book because I love bucketfillers! My son's 2nd grade class last year were rewarded for "bucketfilling"! His teacher used bucketfilling as a standard in the classroom and the students earned bonuses when they treated each other well!
