Treating Friends and Classmates Kindly (for Teens)

Relational aggression is an insidious type of bullying. Rather than causing physical harm, relational aggression is intended to hurt someone’s personal relationships or social standing. It can take on many different forms and can often be subtle and hard to recognise. In this exercise, we encourage you and your teen to consider different types of relational aggression and reflect on your family values when it comes to kindness and how to treat others.

There’s a Time and a Place Quiz

This is a quiz to help us understand that there is a ‘time and a place’ for saying what is in our heads and a time to keep things to ourselves and stay quiet. If we say something to someone in particular situations or at particular times, it can be seen as rude, disruptive or even unkind. This quiz provides scenarios for teachers or parents to work through, reflect on or even role play. The aim is to develop a level of empathy for others, to encourage children and teens to ‘think first’ before talking and to praise them for coming up with new ideas that mean interactions with others work better.
