Overcoming Bullying: Creating a Peaceful Classroom

Written by Jennifer A. Williams / Emotional Intelligence Coach | Feb 19, 2013 12:01:36 PM

This webinar “Overcoming Bullying: Creating a Peaceful Classroom,” is a wonderful chance to learn solutions to a problem that burdens us all. It provides important basics for bully prevention. 

Dealing with bullying in the classroom is a multi-faceted challenge that requires understanding how we approach misbehavior ineffectively and unknowingly abet bullying in the classroom.

In this webinar, I address the psychology of the bully, the victim, and the bystander—as well as one of the biggest factors that perpetuate this national epidemic: the unmet needs that drive all “misbehavior” in children and teens.

How to Prevent Bullying

It's critical that we empower teachers, parents and children with tools that naturally replace bullying (an inappropriate use of power) with meaningful contribution and connection. We hope to arm you with ways to prevent bullying in the classroom and set a model for peaceful classrooms.

Some of the bullying prevention topics that are covered in this 2-hour webinar:

  • How to support a child’s emotional and social development
  • Ways to deflect teasing and strategies to eliminate bullying
  • Actions that build healthy self-esteem
  • How to equip children with skills to prevent bullying
  • Ways to create meaningful connection
