Counselors Corner
Parents,
October is Bully Prevention Month and we will start our lessons on the 3 R’s, Recognize, Report, Refuse. Ask your students what they are learning and the importance of reporting, if you see something say something. This cuts down on bullying for themselves and others as well as keeps them alert to the things around them, we call this Bystander Power. Please also have a conversation with them and ask them what bullying is. There are many miscommunications that anything unkind is bullying but by definition, bullying is recognized by three primary characteristics. It is aggressive behavior that;
- Is usually repeated over time
- Occurs in a relationship where there is a power imbalance
- Intends to cause harm or distress and /or has a serious harmful or distressing effect on the target.
