How social empowerment is useful when faced with social challenges especially bullying. What is bullying,who bullies,  who gets bullied,  why kids bully  and signs of bulling.  Interactive sessions are included to improve relationships between parents and kids, and between kids.

The kids learn to use brain power as their primary approach for self defense.   We also teach the use of “MENTAL DODGE BALL” as a means of handling teasing and put-downs.
