Wondering if your kids are ready for social media? Here’s some helpful info to help you make an informed decision!

Alma Intermediate School students are learning this throughout the month of October in guidance lessons! Check this out so you can know how to help your child differentiate each type of behavior and know how to make good choices for themselves and those around them!

Is it rude, mean, or bullying?

Those words can get used interchangeably, but they do not all mean the same thing. Teaching kids the difference helps them understand what happened, put language to it, and know what kind of support they may need next.

Rude behavior may be thoughtless or hurtful in the moment. Mean behavior is intended to hurt. Bullying involves repeated behavior and a power imbalance.

October is Bullying Prevention Month, which makes this a great time to have these conversations before situations escalate. The goal is never to minimize a child’s feelings. Something can be deeply hurtful without meeting the definition of bullying, and every situation still deserves support, guidance, and follow up.

The more accurately we can name what is happening, the better we can help our kids navigate it.

Save this guide, share it with another parent or educator, and talk through it with your kids. What do you think is the hardest distinction for students to understand?

An AFMC Medicaid representative will be available at Alma Intermediate School on October 16 during Parent Teacher Conferences. Families can receive help with Medicaid applications, renewals, finding or assigning a primary care provider, and locating other valuable resources. This opportunity is open to all Alma School District students and families, not just those attending AIS.
