In junior grades, students are becoming more and more autonomous from their parents. Their friendships and relationships with their peers and other significant adults are becoming increasingly significant.
Topics to help promote healthy relationships at the junior level include:
Good Friends Do, Good Friends Don’t
When thinking about healthy relationships, it is important for students to take a look at how friends behave in a healthy friendship.
Bullying and the Empower Tools
While it is important to understand what bullying is, it is just as critical to learn effective strategies to deal with conflict situations.
Hero Bystanders or Upstanders
Bystanders or those that stand by and watch while an incident is happening can contribute to the problem rather than the solution. This section focuses on how to support a target or victim in a conflict or bullying situation.
Perspective Taking
Empathy starts with the ability to see things from another perspective or point of view. Stretching students to see things from different perspectives benefits them in all relationships.
