Be Strong.





Last week in Girls on the Run we faced some important issues: gossiping and bullying.  Not only did we have some good conversations about what both of these things can look like, but we learned strategies for dealing with them and how to stand up for ourselves in a positive way.  As a Girl on the Run, we emphasized the importance of standing up for yourself and being strong, but not getting pulled into these behaviors.  The girls learned about the harmful effects of gossiping, and how they can put a stop to it by using our SBLR strategy.  They also talked about the different types of bullying: physical, social/emotional, and verbal; and how to use this same strategy in a different kind of situation.  To balance out some of these big conversations, we had a fun scavenger hunt on Monday :)  Be sure to check out your parent guide and ask your Girl on the Run about what we discussed!
