What is bullying?
There are 3 types of bullying:
1) social bullying-excluding victims from activities or spreading rumors
2) verbal bullying-threatening, taunting, or teasing another
3) physical bullying-kicking, hitting, punching, or choking
Research shows that over 50% of all children will be bullied at some point during their school years. This MUST stop.
My classroom is a no bullying zone.
I have zero tolerance for bullying.
I take every bullying issue seriously and will deal with it immediately and to the highest degree possible. Please talk to your children about bullying. Bullying is not a 'kids being kids' issue and it's not something that every child must 'go through' to survive childhood. Bullying is a serious issue that must be stopped and the only way that can happen is if everyone works together.
*Be a good role model for you child.
*Talk to your child daily about how to be nice to others.
*Show compassion to everyone you meet, especially if they are 'different' from you (physically, mentally, socially, or economically).
*Start a 'Pass it on' tradition with your child and do nice things for others so they can 'pass it on'.
*Teach your child good team player social skills.
*Expect your child to show kindness and compassion daily.
