…this resource is packed with practical tips and strategies that can be used both at home and at school. Here are just a few of the ideas you’ll find inside:

• Remember it’s not always about you – Hurtful words often come from someone else’s stress or problems, not from anything you did.
• Let negativity slide off – Don’t let unkind comments stick; remind yourself of your effort and value.
• Focus on what you can control – Choose your reaction and put your energy into activities and people that make you happy.
