Anti-Bullying for Kids
Anti-Bullying for Kids



It accomplishes this by using the ancient martial arts secrets of EVADE and ESCAPE or CONTROL. We will describe these principles in more detail later.
Before we go much further it would be appropriate to first define what a bully and bullying are. The Oxford dictionary defines bully (the noun) as a person using strength or influence to harm someone weaker than themselves. Bullying (the verb) as someone using strength or influence to make somebody else do something they want.
Bullying is always about power and control and is a result of the bully being unable to accept differences in other people. It can be racially based, religious or caused by somebody’s physical or mental disability. It can be as simple as how someone speaks, dresses, acts or even the people or organizations they may be associated with. When viewed by an outsider, the bullying often appears to make no logical sense. However, it still exists. Bullying doesn’t have to make sense to us - as long as it’s about power and control it makes sense to the bully.
In overcoming bullying, confidence is everything. The PassivePOWER system aids this process by providing the individual with the knowledge [and with practice in the physical techniques] the ability, to deal with both physical and verbal bullying.

ALL BULLYING RELIES ON THE FEAR OF THE INTENDED VICTIM.
For bullying to be effective the victim must believe there will be a real and tangible result, (I will be beaten up or my secrets will be revealed or someone I care about will be harmed) whatever the case, the victim is sure [in their mind] that the threat will be cared out.

The bully recognizes and isolates somebody weaker than themselves.
The harassment and victimization starts.
The victims self esteem and self confidence suffers, [normally because the victim is afraid or lacks the skills to ward off the attack - whether that attack be physical or verbal]
The bully recognizes their harassment is working and increases the severity of the bullying.
Self esteem and self confidence suffers even more.
Thus the cycle is perpetuated.


Taking away the source of the problem seems a likely answer, except all of your children’s friends still communicate via their mobile phones, computers or social media devices [as well as at school] and the bullying still persists. The only guaranteed achievement from this action is to alienate you from your children. How do you overcome this? Monitor their facebook/twitter, or similar accounts. Post your own independent comments [such as “this behavior is unacceptable…”].
Reporting these events is always a good idea.

The best solution is to give your children the confidence to be who they are. To stand alone, independently. Cyber bullying still relies on the bully threatening a physical outcome – [often to exclude the victim from the group, or make the victim the subject of the taunting of the group]. Take this away by giving your child the confidence to stand independently, to be confident with who they are and what they stand for and the bully has no ammunition. Teach them the old philosophy of “It’s nice to be important - but it’s important to be nice”. Thus the bully’s prime motive of power and control is removed.
Confidence is everything.
PassivePOWER can offer a solution; we conduct one day workshops that deal directly with anti social aggressive behaviour such as bullying. We also offer information and solutions as to how to avoid and if absolutely necessary how to passively defend against physical attacks. One of the greatest benefits from these workshops is the increased confidence levels that participants obtain when the fear factor is removed. Once the bully is aware that his attacks can and will be repelled it is highly unlikely that an attack will occur in the first place.
We also have available 2 books that deal with the bullying problem.


Self confidence is the key; if your children are confident in their own abilities bullying has little or no effect. Whether it be a physical attack or emotional blackmail.
To summarise - to overcome and combat cyber bullying [in a nutshell]
Monitoring the social media sites of your children
Changing your kids circle of friends or people who influence them
Promote group activities with like minded associates - remember there is strength in numbers
ABOVE ALL - Have open communication with your children
