Parents Presentation is a one (1) hour presentation for parents, caregivers and adults.
Eighty percent of adolescents report being bullied during their school years. Students reported that 71% of teachers or other adults in the classroom ignore bullying incidents. Adults who were bullied as children have higher rates of involvement in substance abuse, domestic violence and other violent crimes than those who were not. Finally, over 160,000 school children stay home each day out of fear of bullying, often without telling their parents why. Joe the Biker brings his expertise to bear.
At a time when bullying is hitting epidemic levels in schools and cyber bullying escalating to unheard-of proportions, parents need tools to help their children deal with this disruptive behavior. The solution starts in the home and it is incumbent upon the parents not only to advocate on their children’s behalf but give them the tools to handle unwanted advances. Joe the Biker presents informative material in an interactive and highly engaging manner, helping parents gain new insight in dealing with this issue. Parents need to arm their children with healthy nurturing that ultimately prevents bullying, being role models and empowering children to Say No to Bullying – whether the bullying is directed at them or at others.
The presentation focuses on the development of a child’s emotional intelligence – a key factor in giving them the ability to ward of the aggressive and unwanted behaviors of a bully. Joe the Biker gives parents insight into how to detect and protect their child if he or she becomes a target. This is an open forum discussion that will also provide insights for parents whose children are bullies.
