3 myths about bullying that students should know as they come back to school
Encourage children to question some of the bullying beliefs that give power to bullies and remove it from victims.
Spark children's empathy and compassion for those who are bullying, since it indicates they may be suffering. Children’s schools are inspected and regularly checked by professionals to ensure safety from the harm of fire. Not only are the building and facilities, with specificto risks like electrical wiring, assessed by firefighters, but the whole school from the principal to the youngest student must repeatedly practice a safe exit according to an effective, timely plan.
The word often connected to today’s bullying crisis is “epidemic.” Considering that bullying is infecting more and more adults and children, being proactive and teaching children ways to understand and address it is going to give them a strategy for remaining psychologically healthy and strong. While it’s extremely difficult to stop bullying from targeting one child or many, parents can empower their own children with knowledge to debunk myths around bullying.
Get children to think about and openly discuss scenarios such the following: A student is new to a class and is targeted for bullying. Why? Is newness something that is weak? Such a discussion opens up a dialogue about social-emotional relationships and how a bully is dependent on established bonds to target the new student.
