“Increasingly, evidence shows that healthy relationships are much more effective at ending bullying than anti-bullying rules and punishment. Components of healthy relationships include trust, respect, fairness, equality, stability, enjoyment, contentment, and belonging. When kids respect each other, and have a personal connection to their classmates – even something as small as knowing their names – they are much less likely to purposefully hurt them. Healthy relationships are also proven to increase our resilience, self-confidence, pro-social skills, stress management, and overall well-being, so that even if kids experience bullying, healthy relationships better prepare them to cope, and ensure that they have a support network of trusted peers and adults to help them navigate the situation..”
