As kids in many parts of the world are starting a new school year, we have been flooded with requests for help with bullying. People are saying:
Help! Our child is being bullied at school
Help! Our kids are having trouble getting along!
Help! How can we make our schools safe for everyone?
In response, I am leading a special live, donation-based online program Protecting Our Kids from Bullying Thursday, October 13, 5-6pm PT via Zoom for educators, parents, and other caring adults. I invite you to join me!
Together, we will learn and practice how to:
Advocate effectively to find solutions to bullying problems
Intervene respectfully and powerfully to stop unsafe or disrespectful behavior
Teach boundary and positive communication skills to help develop safe and strong relationships
When you register, you will have the opportunity to ask specific questions that we can address either during the program or afterwards. Instead of charging a fee, we are requesting that participants make a donation that works well for their budget to help ensure that our services are available to people regardless of their ability to pay.
After the program, you’ll receive a follow-up email with links to extensive educational resources including posters, articles, and safety tips and to self-paced online courses addressing topics such as child protection, emotional safety, managing triggers, and positive strategies for helping children to manage aggression. You’ll also receive a coupon for the Face Bullying With Confidence course that shows how to teach 8 skills to stop bullying.
To learn skills side-by-side with your child, consider enrolling in one of our upcoming Familypower Online Programs:
