Focus is placed on how it feels to be bullied and the difference between teasing/joking and bullying. Children are taught strategies on how to stop or reduce the effects of bullying behavior.
Click on Safety
From a very young age, children are taught, "Don’t talk to strangers," but sometimes it is forgotten that the stranger can also be communicating with children over the Internet. Children are taught about appropriate and inappropriate behaviors on the Internet and that "friends" in chat rooms are strangers. Children learn safety strategies and where and when to report questionable activities.
