| COMEC (The Commission on Missing and Exploited Children) and Neshoba Unitarian Church are hosting a free panel discussion to help parents, caregivers and educators understand and recognize scary behaviors like bullying and sexting so children can safely, confidently and happily navigate their friendships!
The discussion happens just as children settle back into school, and their friendships and peer pressure are once again part of the daily learning experience.
This FREE panel discussion from local experts will help you:
•Learn how to recognize the danger signs of a child who bullies or is being bullied and what to do to empower a child and what you can do
•Understand dangerous behaviors like sexting and non-fatal injuries like cutting happen, how to recognize the warning signs and how to react
•Find out what you can do now to help insulate a child from dangerous behaviors through good emotional habits
Who is on the panel:
Len Edwards, Memphis Police sergeant and executive director of the Commission on Missing and Exploited Children (COMEC), who has more than 20 years of experience counseling children and families
Amanda Cook-Myers, program director of Sophia’s House, who speaks to groups about what causes bullying and how to counteract it
Sarah Osborne, director of religious education at Neshoba Unitarian Church, and a teacher for special education and gifted children, will discuss how to help children achieve good self-esteem and confidence
Because of the openness of the discussion, children should not attend. We will be able to offer a limited number of free babysitting spaces for infants and small children. Please email comecevents@gmail.com to make your reservation in advance. The deadline to sign up for childcare is Aug. 15. A confirmation email will be sent to you.
