[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 314875, member: 805"] TM, do a little research on the web. I spent about five weeks teaching bullying classes at my daughter's old parochial elementary school (going back about 8 years). My starting place was a report form 20/20 where they did some hidden camera stuff on the playground, etc. We watched the report and that was the discussion starter. I spent two 45 minutes times with each class for several weeks. It cumulated with each student getting a book called "The Good in Me". On the second to last class, each student was asked to write a sentence about each student in their class. The sentence was to be something positive - something they admire about that student, something the student was good at, etc.. I took all those writings home and compiled a little book called "The Good in Me". Each student was able to read at least 24 positive things their classmates thought about them (no names as to who said what). I used that 20/20 report to start the discussion and was suprised at how open and honest the kids were from that point. I did this in the 5th through the 8th grade classes. I used some resources I found on the web that included some role playing. It was really good to be able to have a kid who was a known bully play the bullied. It was also a good experience for kids who just "sat and watch it happen" feel what it felt like to be bullied. A big part of the lesson was the responsibility to step forward. Good luck.
