* Bullying *

This has been a current subject in our home! I have talked with my girls about the definition of a bully and how it can effect a person to be bullyed. I have read this entire brochure over and over so that I am prepared to help my child when she comes home from being bullied, or be prepared to talk with my child who is the bully! I am teaching my girls self-respect, I am letting my child know it's OK to express anger or dissatisfaction. I am teaching my kids to avoid body language, gestures, faces and words that put them in danger. I encourage them to have healthy friendships so that they are not alone at school or in our community! I am teaching my kids to communicate clearly, yet diplomatically. I am teaching them how and when to be assertive! I am teaching self-talk, so they can stand tall and develop a positive sense of self :) I am teaching them to walk away from situations with bullies, and that it's OK to ask for help!!!!
