Name-calling is an age-old problem that most school children encounter at one time or another. Young children are very sensitive to verbal abuse from others, and when they are unable to deal with name-calling by their peers they may suffer emotional wounds such as depression or low self-esteem that in some cases can last a lifetime. This program will help children learn what motivates name-callers and what methods can be used to discourage this behavior. By identifying with the characters and the familiar situations shown in the program, children will be better equipped to deal with this common problem in a direct and effective manner. Teacher's guide included.
