Students will learn reasons why some children tease others and the hurt such behavior causes.  With an awareness of factors that cause children to tease, students will gain the ability to deal with the teasing in constructive ways.  Students will learn to be assertive with a teaser while remaining calm and using no violence.  They will also learn ways to:  use I-messages, apologize when necessary, give compliments, show kindness, talk to the teaser, ignore the teasing, use humor, and other techniques for controlling teasing and overcoming the hurtful nature of teasing.
