Re: Active Empathy — The Antidote to Bullying

Maya Bisineer — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 19:06:50 -0000

Just yesterday, my 1st grader was really sad that another kid called her "the meanest person on earth". It broke my heart. I told her to let the other girl know she hurt her feelings and encouraged to ask her why she felt that way. I told her that it is important to try to work it out but speak up at the same time. I am not sure if that is right or wrong, but I am curious to see how it works for her over the next few days.
I also run a program called Project Cornerstone in my daughter's class - it is run by the YMCA and they use picture books and stories to get across messages, give kids tools to deal with bullying and such. It is a great program - you should check it out.
I think it is very important to give kids tools and strategies. Give them the confidence to hold their heads high and speak up. It is also very important to teach them that everyone counts - they should be taught empathy and they should take pride in helping others. It is a hard balance, but I have learned a lot of this via the Project Cornerstone program. Bullying can occur in so many ways. If my daughter rolled her eyes at a timid kid, I would call that a form of bullying. I don't want her to ever do that. And if she is ever a victim to something like that, I would love for her to speak up.
I however, learned most of this dealing with people in the corporate world i think :)
