Anyone who has seen my post about 10 Great Books to Help an Angry Child knows that I have had a lot of success with child-led inquiry. Basically, this is when a child is able to discover the answers to their problems. The books featured below do just that.
I was surprised how many of my students checked out the following books out on my lending library shelf in my self-contained emotional impairment classroom. A few of my students said they were only looking at them because they wanted to see “how stupid they were”. Regardless of their claims, these students read the books from cover to cover. They also did a great job when answering the prompts from when they made their own bullying dice. Guess I need to find more “stupid books”!

Prior Lake dad calls out alleged bullies online


PRIOR LAKE, Minn.--Brad Knudson had enough, so he took to YouTube on Monday to call out bullying.
"It's very emotional," the father of five said in the video.

"We have a very beautiful African American girl that we were very fortunate enough to adopt 11 years ago," Knudson continued in the video.


His multiracial family is used to heads turning but nothing like what happened over New Years. Knudson said his daughter received Snapchat videos laced with racism from two high schoolers. Knudson said he tried to contact the boys father but received harassing phone calls from the parent instead.

Frustrated, Knudson took to Youtube to share his story. Wendy Knudson said after seeing so many young people who were bullied take their own lives they had to stand up.

"I love my daughter and I don't want her to end up committing suicide because of freaking morons," Knudson said in the video.

The video been shared widely on social media. Tuesday night the video had just 1,000 views. By Wednesday it had more than 56,000 views. Even school leaders took notice.

Prior Lake Assistant superintendent Jeff Holmberg said they've reached out to both families and are investigating the incident.

"We don't tolerate that so we are going to very specific about it and diligent about our efforts to understand the situation," Holmberg said.

Josh - opening doors and hearts




Unfortunately in today’s world, a lot of children are subjected to all kinds of messages from the media about how to be, how to act, and what to do. On top of this, some children are subjected to other kinds of messaging, which comes in the form of bullying. In the U.S. about thirty percent of teenagers have been subjected to bullying. There are four types of bullying: physical, verbal, emotional, and cyber.
Physical bullying tends to be more common among boys, while verbal and emotional bullying is typical among girls. Additionally, girls are more likely to use exclusion as a form of harassment than boys are. In this video, one boy is bullied, but how he responds to it changes everything.
