What is Bullying? Parents Can Help Stop Bulling Links
Back to Main National Directory
Every day in our schools and communities, children are teased, threatened, or tormented by bullies. About Bullying, part of the 15+ Make Time to Listen… Take Time to Talk initiative, provides parents and caregivers with information about bullying and methods for communicating with children about the climate of fear created by bullying. The messages exchanged between children and their caregivers in just 15 minutes or more a day can be instrumental in building a healthier and safer environment for children. Safe schools are everyone's responsibility and everyone can help keep our schools safe.
