Things to know about HIB • HIB can take on many forms: • Hitting/punching • Teasing • Name calling • Threats • Gestures • Sending insulting messages by email, social networks and text messages • Can be a single incident or a series of incidents • Gather information about any incidents • Develop a plan of action • Teach and practice assertive skills and problem solving skills

  5. What a child can do to help avoid an HIB situation? • Try to avoid getting into a negative situation • Use humor to defuse by making a joke and walk away • EX: “Lay off, I don’t want you to be late for school.” • Recruit a friend or have one with you • Tell the person assertively and walk away • EX: “Leave me alone.” • Report it to a trusted adult

  6. What a parent can do to help with an HIB situation? • Talk with your child and ask how he/she interacts with peers • Provide a consequence for a HIB behavior and explain why • Model good relationships at home • Enroll your child into groups or classes that are valued • Keep the TV watching to a minimum • Teach your child empathy and how to express concern for others

  7. Things to remember about HIB • Fighting back is the worst defense • Do not expect to work it out on your own – someone will help you • Always intervene and speak up in an HIB situation • HIB behaviors are not okay • Tell them “You can’t do this here and this is not acceptable.” • Get the school involved and report it (EX: teacher, counselor, administrator, coach, or any other trusted adult)
