I knoow I have something very important to say to all that are interested in reducing bulling ,child victimization and most forms of child abuse.
First my heartfelt condolances to the family of this child that killed himself.
Fear management techniques can be one answer to help reduce bullying.
The idea to teach children to stop drop and roll or look both ways before crossing the street and learning how to swim are prime examples of fear management techiniques.
I have developed an educational Bully prevention program for the early years of 3 to 8 that works called -Kidini a safe way home http://www.kidini.com
