Avoiding Bullying, Cliques and Exclusion

by Meg Domino, MPH, CHES, Exec. Director, New Canaan Cares

Beginning in elementary school and escalating in middle school, aggression (generally physical with boys and emotional with girls) results in bullying, cliques, and exclusion. Learn how and why this happens and what you can do to prevent your child from being victim or aggressor. Meg’s strategy session will provide you with a sampling of what our children fear, feel, and believe regarding friendships and social behaviors as well as offer tools to help build pro-social behaviors and avoid bullying.

On Tuesday, February 2, 2010, we hosted Bob Bigelow, former NBA 1st-round draft choice, discussing Adults and Children in Organized Youth Sports: Who Wins, Who Loses? Bob’s mission is to put the “youth” back in youth sports and find a balance at home and on the field. Too many youth sports systems meet the adults’ needs rather than kids’ needs and therefore create dispiriting sideline and “behind the scenes” behaviors and problems, and burned-out kids. Up to 75% of our kids drop out of youth sports by age 13! Why, and how can we make sports better for them? We learned new common-sense approaches for positive change in youth sports programs by one of the foremost lecturers in the country regarding youth sports. This lecture was co-sponsored by the Old Greenwich Riverside Community Center and was held at the OGRCC.
