It’s National Bullying Prevention Month! Bullying is when a child tries to hurt another child physically or emotionally. Kids who bully use their power (like being popular or physically strong) to control or hurt others.

“If someone is picking on you, we can figure out what to do together.”

“In our family, we believe that everyone deserves respect.”

“What would you do if you saw someone getting picked on?”
