Bullying & Healthy Friendships

Friends matter a lot to children, but they're not born knowing how to be friends.  They have to learn -- which they do, by trial and error, all through their growing up years.

Even the most compassionate children engage in bullying at one time or another (perhaps with a sibiling).  Even the strongest children may sometimes be teased in a way that makes them feel bad.  And none will get through school without seeing others be bullied.

We offer tools and information to foster your children's developing social skills and help them build healthy connections, like

-- How to tell when someone is a good friend
-- How to be a good friend to others
-- What to do when someone makes a mistake in friendship

We also cover essential topics for parents, such as:

-- How to tell if a child is bullying or being bullied
-- Understanding how friendship styles differ for boys and girls
-- Knowing when to notify parents, teachers or administrators
-- Creating a "bully-free" home environment

Please call 310.395.5650 to schedule a parent seminar on this topic at your school or other group setting. You may also make an appointment for individualized family coaching to address how these issues affect your own family.
