What ”Bullying” Really Means and What to Do About It
”Bullying is just a part of life and you just have to deal with it.” That's what people told Dr. Patricia Newman 25 years ago when she started the Respect Organization. She didn't buy it then, and she doesn't buy it now. Dr. Newman joins hosts Dr. Christopher Villarreal and Dr. Deb Anderson to cut through the confusion around bullying, what it actually is, how to spot it, and how to raise kids who know what to do when it happens.
Discover why not every unkind behavior is bullying (and why that distinction matters), how to tell if your child is being targeted or doing the targeting, and why role playing in the car might be the most powerful tool parents aren't using.
Whether you're a parent trying to decode what your child is telling you about their day, or an educator navigating a difficult conversation with a family, this episode gives you the language and tools to actually help.
