Since 1976 I have been deeply involved as a volunteer in the prevention of child abuse. I served as Chairman of the Board of Prevent Child Abuse America from 1980-82. My concern for the cruelty of children to each other led me to co-author two books on the subject of bullying with my daughter, Paula Fried, Ph.D. Bullies & Victims Helping Your Child Through the Schoolyard Battlefield and Bullies, Targets & Witnesses Helping Children Break the Pain Chain . A third book, Banishing Bullying Behavior -Transforming the Culture of Pain, Rage & Revenge co-authored with Blanche Sosland, PhD, was released at the end of 2009. In 2005 I co-authored, with Lynn Lang, a workbook, 30 Activities for Getting Better At Getting Along .
