Mia Von Scha speaks at the Treehouse Talks online parenting summit about the Bully-Proof Vest. Here is a sample of that talk. For the full talk, please visit Treehouse Talks or find it in my online store.
With all the anti-bullying campaigns out there, why is bullying still rife on our playgrounds and in our workplaces? Is there anything we can do to help our kids? To protect them? To help them to have an enjoyable experience over their 12 years of schooling and beyond?
In this talk you will find out why kids get bullied, why kids become bullies, and why your own family dynamics may be contributing to the problem.
In this talk we’ll look at the bigger picture of how the bullying dynamic fits into the larger sphere of your family and life. We’ll look at how certain things that you may be doing or not doing can contribute to your child’s chances of ending up a victim of bullying, and what you can do to shift this dynamic.
We’ll also look at something that no other bullying programs out there look at: the silver lining – why bullying has a place in the world, how it contributes to growth, why (no matter what we do) we will never eradicate it in our schools, and why we wouldn’t want to.
Then I’ll show you how understanding this can provide your child not only with the tools to navigate school, but the tools to handle any relationship or difficult situation that will inevitably show up at some point in their lives.
This talk goes beyond bullying to essential life skills that can transform anyone’s life regardless of their current challenge!
