“Really what the research suggests is that it's supporting the target that is more effective than punishing the bully, which tends to lead to retaliation.” — Elizabeth Englander.

Today I speak with a psychologist and researcher, Elizabeth Englander Ph.D., who has been working for decades to understand and prevent bullying and has a wonderful book out called 25 Myths About Bullying and Cyberbullying. The word cyberbullying gets used A LOT by young people.

Sometimes, for example, youth refers to the one-time act of posting a mildly negative comment on a post as “cyberbullying.” In this Tech Talk Tuesday I explore how to talk with our kids about cyberbullying and ways we can support them in our schools.
