ZAP anti-bullying workshop for 9-16 Year olds and their Parents/Carers
As part of the ZAP online workshop, Kidscape specialist trainers run two separate sessions: one for young people and a supporting session for parents and carers.
Session for young people
The session for young people has the following goals:
Raising self-esteem
Teaching young people how to identify and be proud of their own unique strengths and skills - encouraging them to understand that the bullying is not their fault.
Exploring bullying roles
Defining the terms 'bully', 'bystander' and 'target', and exploring the types of behaviour that may be associated with these terms.
Assertiveness skills
Understanding the difference between aggression, assertiveness and passivity and how these are relevant to bullying dynamics. Young people will also learn a range of practical assertive strategies that will help them to deal with bullying situations that may occur in the future.
Positive body language
Identifying the impact of positive body language in relation to being assertive.
Cyberbullying
Raising awareness of safety risks when using the internet.
Session for parents and carers
The parent session has the following objectives:
Assertiveness training
Ensuring parents are familiar with the assertiveness skills being taught in the young persons' session, how they can practise these with them and their relevance to tackling bullying.
Open discussion
A chance for parents to talk about the emotional challenges of dealing with bullying and if they wish to, discuss the specific issues affecting their family. The trainer will offer steps and/or techniques that may be useful for the whole group.
Understanding modelling behaviour
Explaining to parents how their own experiences or behaviour (for example passivity or anger) may reflect on their child and offering ways in which they can use assertiveness skills to effectively communicate with the school.
Support sources
Providing information about other organisations and groups that are able to help, and making parents aware of their legal rights when supporting their child with bullying-related issues.
