Bullying Stops Here!

On Tuesday, September 6th, we're taking bullying head on!  The new school year isn't even a month old and we have already received reports of bullying.  So we're bringing back our Bullying Stops Here seminar and have created a single day camp for students to attend. 

This camp will focus on several important aspects of bullying.  First, we'll supercharge participants' self-confidence.  Children with low self-esteem are much more likely to be victims of bullying.  And children who have been bullied will have trouble gaining self-confidence.  It's a vicious cycle that we are going to break.


We'll also explain why some students try to bully others.  It is important for students to understand the mindset of a bully so they are not intimidated by them.  Once you remove the "mask", bullies aren't nearly so fearsome.

Then we're going to give participants a 3-step process to end bullying behavior by others.  This process will give students control over their situation.  It will allow them to understand how to end bullying effectively.  And it will keep them safe.

We're also going to provide students with the absolute best in youth self-defense techniques.  Like other parents, we don't want our children to be involved in fighting.  But we also don't want them to be helpless victims to bullies, either.  The fact is, these techniques, like those we teach every day, aren't "fighting techniques."  They are techniques to end a physical confrontation as quickly and effectively as possible. 

In addition, we're going to help participants increase their awareness and recognition skills.  Students can stay safe and avoid confrontations by increasing their ability to see a problem before it occurs.  We'll help them understand their surroundings and learn to identify potential dangers before they are entangled by them. 

We're also going to address two other important aspects to student safety and self-defense.  The new phenomenon of "pack bullying" - where groups of students roam a campus looking for victims - and surprise attacks.  It's unfortunate that sometimes, no matter how prepared someone is, they can be attacked by surprise.  We're going to help participants understand how to deal with surprise attacks and how to think clearly even if they have been hit first.

This seminar is a must attend event if you have a child in school.  Some schools are out on September 6th, so they won't have to miss school to attend.  But even if school is in, we recommend you consider having your child attend this important event.  It very well could be the most important thing your child learns this year.
