Dear Lyle, I agree that meanness when left unaddressed morphs into habit and becomes bullying.  I asked my students if they see meanness and worse, bullying in school.   I wanted to send you some of their comments. Thank you for sharing your talent and your knowledge with my students.  Keep doing what you're doing! [...]

Lyle, When you came to my school I learned that I can try to cheer up someone who is droopy eyed, sagged shoulders, arms crossed and head down.  I learned a ton about my class after crossing the line.  Not only did they like brussel sprouts, but it was very interesting when the people that [...]

Dear Lyle, I always feel uncomfortable in front of other kids.  I feel like I am a "3" out of a king.  My mom says the reason why people bully me is because I'm not confident, and I am not.  But I can't be confident all of the time.  One day I was confident and [...]

hi lyle, this has taught me to look for more cues about self esteem or "numbers."  today I realized it doesn't matter what people like, if they like things nobody else likes.  they are all human beings, and if you don't treat them like tht 3 or more times, you are being a bully.  try [...]

My teacher asked us what new learning we had about our class after doing the sixth grade workshop with you.  This has taught me to look for more cues about self esteem or “numbers”.  Today I realized that it doesn’t matter what people like, if they like things nobody else does.  They are all human [...]

QUESTION: So, from your eyes…what else should we do to make life better for kids that feel unliked or bullied? ANSWER: From my eyes… There is no easy answer to that question. Adults need to start early…really early with kids. Kindergarten early. Parents need to learn more skills in how to parent through these waters. [...]
