Good morning once again. Today we will gather in peace and engage in a healthy dialogue. @MBKCares would like to invite everyone to a very important community gathering. "Suicide and Depression:  A Community Conversation" will take place today, Tuesday, April 30, 2019 from 4:30pm until 6:30pm at the Kingsessing Library located at 1201 S. 51st Street, Philadelphia, PA 19143.  It's right off 51st and Chester Avenue.  This gathering was inspired by the recent tragic suicide of an 11 year old child, Phillip Spruill Jr. from Southwest Philadelphia.  Phillip was a 5th grade student at Comegys Elementary School and his death has touched so many people.  We are coming together to discuss mental health, suicide prevention, anti-bullying, inclusion, and we'll focus on healing as a community moving forward.  MBKCares will be joined by representatives from the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention, the Know Bullying Coalition, Drive Out Suicide, Focus on Fathers, The Fathering Circle, and a few other community organizations.  Please come out and be a part of the discussion as we try to heal and move forward together. #MBKCares #MentalHealth #SuicidePrevention #SuicideAwareness #FaithHopeLove #PhillipSpruillJr #KnowBullying #DriveOutSuicide #FocusOnFathers #TheFatheringCircle #AtifStillLivesInOurHearts #AFSP (at Philadelphia Library-Kingsessing) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw4TzVchq2y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pnua6hu0ppwb

If you want to stop your child from being bullied — or better yet, prevent it in the first place — there is a very simple thing you can do: talk to your child.

I don’t so much mean talk to your child about standing up to bullies, or about letting a teacher know if they see or experience bullying, although both of those are important messages for your child to hear. I mean literally just talk to your child, so that you can better get to know him or her — and better get to know what their daily life is like.

As parents, we like to think that we know this already. But the reality is that once our children head off to school we don’t know everything about them. We don’t know what all of their interactions with others are like; we don’t know all the details, such as who they sit with at lunch, what happens in the locker room, or what happens when they get on the bus.

That’s where the talking comes in. According to stopbullying.gov, talking to your child for 15 minutes a day can make all the difference when it comes to helping keep them safe from bullying.

As any parent will attest, talking with our children doesn’t always go the way we think or hope it will. The answers to “How was your day?” or “What did you do today?” tend to be “Fine” and “Nothing,” neither of which are conversation starters. In general, our interactions often tend to be logistical and closed-ended, like “Did you get your homework done?” or “What time does practice end?”

The conversations that make a difference are more open-ended ones. “Tell me about your day,” for example, or “Did anything good happen today? Anything bad?” Asking open-ended questions about teachers, classes, the lunchroom, sports teams, and any other parts of your child’s life can get conversations started. You can and should ask follow-up questions, but as much as you can, try not to be interrogatory. The more you let your child tell you things the way they want to, the more you keep it comfortable and build trust, both of which are crucial. “Tell me more about that” and “What happened next?” are good ways to keep your child talking.

Because, really, that’s what you want to do. You want to keep the lines of communication open, and make it clear to your child that you are interested in the details of his daily life and that you care about what makes him happy, angry, or sad. By talking for 15 minutes a day, you can learn a lot — including about bullying or circumstances that might lead to bullying.

Those 15-minute conversations can help you help your child navigate difficult situations and help you troubleshoot and problem-solve together. They can also help you understand better what your child enjoys, which helps you guide him toward people and activities that can bolster his self-esteem and build friendships — and can help you understand who the important people are in his life, so you can get to know them better.

Our lives are busy, but 15 minutes aren’t hard to find. Eat dinner together (cook together, too) or have an afternoon snack together. Talk during car rides. Hang out on the couch before bedtime. Shut off the devices and concentrate on each other instead. It truly can make all the difference, in so many ways.

Bullying is a frustrating problem not only in school but also out of school. We teachers struggle to control what occurs in school, how can we help with what occurs outside of school?

I can remember being asked this question during my interview for my current positions, “What would you do as a teacher for a student who has little parent support?” My response, “Try to be the parent.” I further explained what I meant by discussing my role as a teacher and how I need to strive to get the best from every student and do my best for every student. This may mean I need to be the “mom” so to speak for some students. I may need to remind them to do their homework constantly or try and show them what life is all about. I needed to help prepare them for their future, whatever that may be. This means I need to get to know my students and create rapport—something that is not always easy when dealing with mostly 16 or 17 year olds.

  I feel that cyber bullying is quite similar. If a parent is not involved, the teacher needs to be. Also, sometimes a parent just may not have the training or knowledge as to how dangerous the internet may be. After all, our students and children are digital natives, we however are not. This means we need help and we need to do our best to help students understand the dangers of the internet and also what is right and wrong. Teaching morals without technology is hard enough, add in technology and the task seems almost impossible.

As I thought about what I knew about cyber bullying and social media, I realized I did not know much. I have never experienced it before. While searching for some information, I came across this great app which can help teachers and parents. It provides a starting point and knowledge we don’t have. As a soon to be parent, I feel that this knowledge and resource will become quite useful. This website provides information about the app and how to access it. The app provides daily discussion prompts for parents and helps parents communicate with their children. It also has a reminder button, because let’s face it, life can be crazy. I think this could be a wonderful tool for parents and teachers.

The app is called: KNOW BULLYING

This has to come to a halt! Can't we leave Beyoncé alone, at least for one day? Blue Ivy Carter is her daughter it doesn't matter if she actually gave birth! It's #kNOw secret that Beyoncé struggled to get pregnant and even suffered miscarriages. Let's say she did choose to use a surrogate and didn't want to share that with the public, out of fear of scrutiny. That doesn't warrant the amount of (cyber) bullying she receives to this day! i'm always here for the jokes but there have to be limitations. Even for people who chose to be in the limelight.

Spending 15 minutes a day listening and talking with your child can help build the foundation for a strong relationship and provide reassurance that he/she can come to you with a problem. It can also help your child recognize and respond to bullying.

KnowBullying, a new mobile app by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), can help get the conversation started among parents and their children. The app provides tips on talking about school, work, relationships, life, and bullying. Learn more.

We're five days away and I'm filled with nervous excitement. I trust that God is going to help us to gather in peace and engage in a healthy dialogue. @MBKCares would like to invite everyone to a very important community gathering. "Suicide and Depression:  A Community Conversation" will take place next Tuesday, April 30, 2019 from 4:30pm until 6:30pm at the Kingsessing Library located at 1201 S. 51st Street, Philadelphia, PA 19143.  It's right off 51st and Chester Avenue.  This gathering was inspired by the recent tragic suicide of an 11 year old child, Phillip Spruill Jr. from Southwest Philadelphia.  Phillip was a 5th grade student at Comegys Elementary School and his death has touched so many people.  We are coming together to discuss mental health, suicide prevention, anti-bullying, inclusion, and we'll focus on healing as a community moving forward.  MBKCares will be joined by representatives from the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention, the Know Bullying Coalition, Drive Out Suicide, Focus on Fathers, The Fathering Circle, and a few other community organizations.  Please come out and be a part of the discussion as we try to heal and move forward together. #MBKCares #MentalHealth #SuicidePrevention #SuicideAwareness #FaithHopeLove #PhillipSpruillJr #KnowBullying #DriveOutSuicide #FocusOnFathers #TheFatheringCircle #AtifStillLivesInOurHearts #AFSP (at Philadelphia Library-Kingsessing) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwrcPynhO7j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1280mcx1c530
