In October, ABC Readers are reading
Simonās Hook
by Karen Geding Burnett. This empowering book teaches us how to react to teases and put-downs, which we can think of as bait on hooks.
While you cannot control other peopleās behavior, you can control how you react!
In the book, Simonās neighbor, Grandma Rose, teaches him five strategies to avoid
taking the bait
and being a target of his friends who are exhibiting
bucket dipper
behaviors.

|
When you discuss teasing and bullying at home, use these terms and remind children they have choices and power in a teasing situation!
Questions? Please contact Jessie Geis and Michele Grancell,
