Problem Solving
You see someone being teased on the park. What is something you could do?
Tell a staff, speak to an adult, include them.
Calling someone a name, even though they are a friend is okay?
No, even if they are a friend we shouldn't be calling each other names. It may still hurt their feelings.
Why is it important to understand the perspective or feelings of others?
Someone calls out an inappropriate comment in class. What do you do?
Ignore it, continue doing your work, ask them to stop, tell a staff.
Do you place blame on the other person when apologizing?
No. An apology is when you are taking accountability and owning up to what YOU did.
Someone keeps making unwanted comments to you. How do you respond?
Walk away, speak to a staff, stay calm, don't respond.
Making negative comments about someone's appearance?
Inappropriate. We should never comment on the way someone looks unless it's a compliment.
How can we show empathy to others?
Listening, supporting, including, putting yourself in their shoes.
You are getting spoken to about inappropriate comments but heard others saying it as well. What should you do?
Take responsibility, be honest, tell staff what was being said and who was involved
Should an apology include what you did wrong? Why?
Yes. It shows you are taking accountability for what happened.
You are playing a game with a peer and they are not following the rules. What can you do?
Get a staff to help, invite others to join to help, go over the rules before starting, leave the game when frustrated.
You keep interrupting someone while they are trying to talk.
Inappropriate. There is a correct time to talk to someone, sometimes you need to wait.
How can words hurt someone even if we are "just joking"?
They may still feel hurt, don't think it's a joke, embarrassed by it.
You have upset someone by making a rude comment, you want to apologize but they don't want to speak you right now. What should you do?
Be considerate of their space, give them time, know what you are going to say and how to do better in the future, allow them to come to you
Fix it: "I'm sorry I got upset but you started it"
I'm sorry...that what I said hurt your feelings, I shouldn't have said those things, it was unkind of me to say.
You made a comment towards someone that you know wasn't kind. How can you make it better?
Apologize right away, don't make the comment in the first place, keep your thoughts to yourself.
Roasting someone is an appropriate way to have a conversation?
No. It's making fun of or making comments that are unkind to others. Not everyone enjoys it and can be hurtful.
Why is our tone of voice important when speaking to someone?
You heard someone make a racial comment towards someone else. What should you do?
Fix it: "My bad"
I'm sorry for..., I shouldn't have..., I take responsibility...
What is the first step in solving bullying problems?
Recognize the problem, make changes.
Is it okay to use terms (words) that refer to other races, cultures or people in a negative way?
Never. Not appropriate. That would be racism.
You are starting to feel frustrated towards peers that continue to make comments and are unkind to others. How can you show empathy to yourself?
Acknowledge that you know it's inappropriate, move away from peers that are bothering you, be an example for others, show kindness to others and yourself.
Someone keeps bullying while staff aren't around or can't hear. What should you do?
Tell a staff immediately, be honest about what is being said.
What is something you can do after apologizing to show you mean it?
Change the behaviour.
