Bullying is one of the biggest problems and epidemics in the U.S. Kids can be mean and cruel and I want to give you some basic tips on how to prevent and handle bullying.
It's important to teach your children to walk with their heads up with good posture. This is a great way for prevention as it shows bullys that he or she is confident and is not an easy target. If verbal abuse does occur, ignoring and walking away is not the correct answer. Verbal abuse is more damaging then physical abuse and when being attacked, one needs to defend with correct verbal tactics. It's just like if someone trys to punch you, you can either deflect, block, and defend, or take one in the nose.
In the next blog I will explain and teach you how to use Word Blocks. Word Blocks is a part of our verbal self defense training (it's exactly the same training millons of police officers use in their training produced by Dr. George Thompson).
