This year Green Giant is partnering with PACER's National Bullying Prevention Center and We Day Minnesota to help parents "Raise a Giant" and put a stop to bullying.
The "Raise a Giant" program is geared toward raising healthy kids by helping and encouraging them to gain confidence and pride and be able to stand up against bullies. The program helps parents and kids understand that it means something to speak up when they see bullying or are bullied. It is tough yo ask kids to do this but with a little education and support, they will find their voice.
Green Giant is asking parents to write a litter to their kids and tell the show special they are and encourage them to be a Giant and help stop bullying. Parents can visit the Raise a Giant website and read letters that other have written and get ideas what to write to their own kids.
I know if I had kids, I would definitely want them to be involved in this campaign. That is why I wanted to post this information for my readers. If all of you wrote a letter to your kids and asked them to stand up against bullying, just think of the impact! It would make a huge difference. SO head over to the Raise a Giant site and get started.
We can help all kids create a safer, happier world by helping them find their voice and stand up to bullying.

I would tell kids to stand up to bullying by not getting upset, and to report the bullying to an adult in charge!! Getting mad and saying something, or taking action against the bullier usually makes things a lot worse! You could tell the kids being bullied to report it --in school, especially!
ReplyDeleteI visited the "Raise a Giant" site and learned by reading some of the letters written by various people: to just have confidence that the bullying will end if it is told to someone in charge, and to be proud of yourself no matter what, and to be proud of your accomplishments and what a great kid you are! I learned many ways stand up to a bullier somehow!
ReplyDeleteTo stand up make sure that the child has a back up and they know people are there for them.
ReplyDeleteI tell them to speak up for what they know is right
ReplyDeleteI tell them to tell the teacher and not to do what others tell them to do.

ReplyDeleteMy son suffered from bullying his entire school career. I just kept telling him how much I love him. Most important, I spent a lot of time with him--bowling was one thing we'd do together several times a week. I could see his tension release almost immediately.

ReplyDeleteI learned from their site that studies show that an effective way to stop bullying is for kids to simply speak up and say, "That's not okay."

ReplyDeleteYou might think I was wrong, but I enrolled my kids in Karate and told them- someone hurts you- YOU defend yourself!! We would not be angry with you for doing so. It worked. One boy in particular was hounding a daughter and he was TWO grades older than she. One day, she looked him in the eye on the bus said YOU LEAVE ME ALONE- and smacked him a good one and he left her alone after that and EVEN became friendly to her from then on.

ReplyDeleteI would tell them to realize that the one doing the bullying is troubled and to ignore them when it happens, then to tell their parent and/or teacher.
ReplyDeleteI would tell them to tell someone that can fix the situation, like the principal, counselor, parent, etc. I would also make sure that they do not get involved with people that are bullies. They need to stay away from those kind of situations !
ReplyDeleteI learned that you can write your own letter and read others in order to help prevent bullying, stop bullying, and help those that are currently being bullied. Great job Green Giant!
ReplyDeletespeak up if it happens to them or if they see it happen to anyone else
ReplyDeleteI'm old-school. I believe children should defend themselves when warranted. When I went to school, there may have been a little making fun of other children here or there, but children did not bully each other. There is something seriously wrong with this generation of young people, and suspect the blame lies with the parents. Children are, of course, examples of their parents.
ReplyDeleteI try to encourage my son by making sure he knows how special he is, and that bullies are generally unhappy with themselves and jealous of others.

ReplyDeleteIf some kid is bullying you, it's ok to fight back and don't be afraid to fight dirty. Bullies usually won't stop if you back down from them. I know that's not P.C. in today's society, but that's my experience from growing up.

ReplyDeleteI tell them to tell adults in charge, and then tell their parents. It makes a huge difference to not simply focus on someone bullying them, but bullying in general. Encourage them to speak up against all bullying and it will strengthen them if and when they are bullyied.
