Take the Anti-Bullying Pledge! PDF PRINTABLE - I frequently talk to my children about bullying and last week, I almost burst into tears of pride when another mom told me that when her son started school all of the kids, except my son, Jack, were picking on him. She said that her son would come come and tell her what a horrible day he had, but that Jack stood up to the bullying for him. What a proud moment for me!
Standing Up not only has incredible charm, it also carries a powerful message. After watching the movie as a family, sit down with your young one(s) and talk about some of the essential life lessons from Standing Up. Tell your children about how bullying can affect even the strongest of people. Read and sign the Standing Up to Bullies Pledge and pin it on the fridge, bulletin board, or wherever you can see it as a reminder. You can click on the image below for a printer-friendly version.
