Lesson Plan

Bullying or Just Conflict?

This workshop helps parents distinguish bullying from typical conflict, recognize associated risks, and learn actionable strategies to support their children’s well‐being at home and school.

Mislabeling conflict as bullying—or vice versa—can leave children without appropriate support. By clarifying definitions and sharing practical interventions, parents can foster safer, more supportive environments.
