Bullying. We have all heard about it. Yet can we always recognize the signs of bullying in a child? Do you know how to talk with your child if they should experience bullying?

If your child has special needs, can she tell the difference in bullying and appropriate behavior?

Join us as we discuss the signs and forms of bullying, including preschool-aged children. Learn who is involved, how to respond to support children, and how to teach your child about bullying.

We will address unique concerns for children with special needs and share strategies for building peer support. Many useful resources will be shared.
