 Through the years as a school counselor I learned that one of the main ways to help kids deal with bullying is to teach them to be assertive. I always taught the Steps to Respect unit to 3rd-5th graders.This curriculum gives great examples of how to be assertive. I have talked to counselors who do not like the unit, but I loved it and so did the kids. I think it is all in how you teach it and what resources you add to the lessons! If you have any questions about what I did or how I made it more exciting let me know. I am adding a couple links that I have found to be helpful when teaching kids to be assertive!
1. Article-How to raise assertive kids who speak up for themselves and others 2. Steps to Respect Curriculum 3.Assertiveness for Kids-PDF with examples  I have put together a few links of sites that give you examples and resources of how to help children cope with disasters, such as tornadoes, hurricanes and other natural disasters. Check out the link below.

1. Teaching your students how to have a conversation.-This is a great article that gives 8 tips for speaking and listening. 2.Teaching empathy through a digital game- MIT’s Education Arcade and the Learning Games Network have designed a new free game called Quandary. The two groups designed the video game to teach ethics while aligning with Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts for third through eighth graders. 3.

This weekend I was on Twitter and found many interesting things. Here are 3 that I wanted share with you! Please pass it on and share with others!

You can also pick up some little toys for your play therapy area! You can find witches, ghosts or skeletons. These are great for kids to use in play!
