Take a minute and watch this video and see if you agree. https://youtu.be/8mmIu5IZmvE Note: These girls are ACTORS. They are young poets from the amazing LA organization GetLit.org.

October is National Bully Prevention Month. Here are a few simple strategies that you can do to help reduce the chances of your child being bullied. We like to use the acronym; H.E.L.P. The “H” means to “Have a plan”. Unfortunately, bullying is rampart in our society. Statistics tell us that 1 in 4 kids are bullied.
