So today is Unity Dance Day to stop bullying. Childhood bullying is a really issue in our schools. Last year we had a incident with a child on my sons sports team. The mom refused to admit that her son bullied my son till, her son admitted hitting my son with a wet towel and picking on him. Prior to her sons confession, the mother was kind enough to say to me “No wonder why your son is they way he is, look at how you are.” As she pushed me into a face to face confrontation with the 2 boys. Apparently, the apple does not fall far from the tree. We all have been effected by bullies and our kids will be too .. it is time for it to stop!
Bullying has accepted as normal and part of growing up. Bullying should NOT be the norm and our children have the right to feel safe and respected for the unique individuals they are. So Dance for Unity and help to stop bullying.
We had to make a Unity Day tee shirt for my daughter to wear to school and dance to end bullying.
