I am trying to instill some of these items into our own childrens teaching methods, but I am having a tough time. I wish you had schools in our area (metro Detroit Michigan), as I would love to see your school in action. I first learned about you from reading the Black Belt Club book series to my daughter, and I have become a fan of your teachings and style every since. My daughter and I both train in the martial arts, and I have shared many of your messages with her, and I will share this one as well. Thank you so much for posting this message.

Although Dr. Phil knows why, you have solutions. I'm thinking you need to email him a copy of this post. :-) Hi Lori,

Kids can be cruel, I can attest to that. What is sad is that the bullies don't realize how much they are already hurting or feeling badly about themselves and that is why they are lashing out at other kids. I like the Practice the "I'm too bored to be bothered with your bullying" look idea. Body language is more powerful than words. Hi Lori.
