Lesson
Set out your lesson
“Understanding Bullying means defining bullying as repeated hurtful behaviour across types, always wrong, with tell-an-adult action. We will practise once together, then check a fresh example.”
Bring to the table

Extra for the adult
Worked example. Bullying is repeated and meant to hurt. It includes social and cyber forms. It is always wrong — tell a trusted adult.
Optional challenge. For Understanding Bullying, name two types.
What to notice. Keep one parent note: definition; adult path; support used. This session samples bullying basics, not mastery of anti-bullying programs.

“Does your child understand the difference between a one-off argument and bullying, and do they know what to do if they see someone being bullied — rather than just ignoring it?”
