This latest volume, which is scheduled for release in October, will include contributions from Harrington and ten other experts in various industries that address the growing problem of bullying.

“Bullying is an epidemic that effects kids of every age, gender, ethnicity, & social status,” explains Harrington.  “The only way to become ‘bullyproof’ is to become educated.  This book does exactly that.”

BULLYPROOF: Unleash the Hero Inside Your Kid, is a project started by Alex Changho, a martial arts professional and business coach.

“There are many programs out that are meant to help parents and kids deal with bullying,” says Changho.  “But so many of them are designed to ‘keep the peace’  or ‘reduce conflict at schools’ instead of actually addressing the real problem.  The problem is not bullying in itself.  The problem is the negative effects that bullying has on kids.  The solution is to bullyproof the individual, by empowering more people, and helping them feel great about themselves.  When inevitably the bullying happens, it will be ineffective.”

Harrington’s involvement in the BULLYPROOF project will bring an effective, working solution to the families of Valparaiso, Demotte, and Portage, Indiana, where Harrington owns martial arts schools with his wife, Brooke.  Along with the release of the book, the Harringtons will hold free workshops, resources, and training for the community.
