Most children of all ages--preschool to teens--will either experience or witness some type of bullying behavior, either in school or in other settings.  When your child is involved, the matter takes on a particular significance.  Parenting the child who i sometimes mean is just as challenging as supporting the bullied child.  Experienced professionals with sound advice can help. 

Joseph Schechtman, M.Ed., will present two workshops at the Mattapoisett Free Public Library for parents and those who work with children and teens around the issue of bullying. On Thursday, November 8th, the focus will be on the bullied child. On Thursday, November 29th, the topic will be the child who bullies.  This is an opportunity to learn why bullying occurs, how children are vulnerable and what adults can to do to support all children. Both workshops are free and will be held from 6:30 to 8 pm in the library.
