Get It Straight, Then Straighten It Out There are MANY misconceptions about bullying. Here are some FACTS: 1. Bullying is a specific type of aggression. 2. Bullying is not truly seen until ages 6-8. 3. Bullies pick on those who are vulnerable and deviate from the norm. 4. Victim pain is bully gain. 5. Bullies are immune to social rejection. 6. The incidence of bullying is highest with individuals who possess both psychosocial and biological risk factors. ***Self-regulation is the KEY in bully prevention.*** Self-regulation is the ability to put a pause between a stimulus and an action. This allows access to the higher centers of the brain - the only place a conscious choice can be made. Knowing this, we must teach regulation skills to children from birth. Self-regulation skills are more important than reading and early math skills for school success! Remember to check out Dr. Becky Baileys public service announcement, How To Make A Bully From Scratch. We have also released two INTERVENTION videos and will release more throughout the month of October. Learn the signs and then learn the interventions. WE CAN CORRECT THE COURSE! As always, we wish you well! #consciousdiscipline #bullying
