• 15 Book for Kids to Read About Bullying—Some kids are excited about being back at school in the fall, others worry being bullied. There may not be one solution to address those situations, but reading books about kids who are bullied can be helpful in many ways. While any time can be good to run an article about bullying, October fits in with National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month. This 1,228-word article contains titles in three age groups and offers advice from authors Shannon Hale, Frank Cottrell Boyce, and Aija Mayrock. A 226-word sidebar contains a list of resources.

• Overcome These Obstacles and Volunteer With Your Family—November is Family Volunteer Month. Volunteering with children is a good way to teach them about helping others and improving the world around them. Yet, many parents don’t volunteer with their kids for several reasons: They think they don’t have enough time, they don’t know where or how to volunteer, or they think it’s just too much trouble.  This 648-word article addresses common reasons parents may not volunteer with their kids and helps them get around those barriers. A sidebar listing resources for finding volunteer projects is included.
