Kids Learn To Take A Powerful Stand To End Bullying In
Long Beach.
"Did you know that most bullying is verbal and can easily be thwarted with easy to learn skills?"
A local community leading personal development center is saying “Enough!” to school age bullying. They will be holding free community seminars on January 31st and February 7th to help end the bullying epidemic in the local school systems.
In this seminar kids learn how to handle these situations in a safe and fun environment. The program focuses on teaching kids:
o To recognize bullying behavior and avoid it before it starts
o To understand how a bully thinks
o Learn and practice the skills needed to defuse the situation
o Understand their boundaries and how to defend without resorting to aggressive behavior
Some studies show that upwards of 80% of school age children report being bullied. Bullying can begin to take shape as young as Kindergarten and continue right through 12th grade. It is not uncommon for bullying to continue into college and even the workplace.
Most of the time bullying is verbal. Although physical bullying is what people normally think of, verbal bullying can often times be much more harmful and have negative effects that last a lifetime.
Children who are victims of bullying generally turn inwards. They become afraid to try things and shy away from social activities. This can have a profound effect on their decision making in adult hood and can often stand in the way of their personal success.
Power of One Self-Defense Institute has broken this cycle by offering these seminars. “In the past we have seen amazing results as kids learn these tricks to thwart bullies.” Says Raymond Daniels, owner of Power of One Karate in Long Beach and retired Long Beach Police officer. “These skills are very easy to learn and can lead to a tremendous boost to the kid’s self confidence.”
