You’re Invited to Trudy’s Presentation, “Understanding Our Kids’ Online & Offline Social World: Friendships, Cliques & Power Plays”

Intentional exclusion, gossip, the silent treatment, teasing, and the spreading of rumors are often dismissed as normal rites of passage, but research shows these behaviors are a form of emotional bullying that are as harmful as physical bullying, with long-term negative effects. Learn more about what bullying is and isn’t, relational aggression (the use of relationships to manipulate and hurt others), the nature of boys’ and girls’ friendships, cyberbullying, as well as tips, tools, and resources to help you empower children—from pre-school to young adult—to be kinder and more inclusive in their online and offline social world.

Please note, this presentation is designed for adult engagement.

Doors open at 6:30.
