No Bullying…It’s About Love!
KK has declared war on Bullying! Having been bullied by twins while growing up she knows the effect that bullying has on a child while going through it and years later. Research is now showing that "Bullying comes from a hurt and angry child who has not been loved, who doesn't know how to manage the heartbreak and loneliness of not being loved, and takes it out on other children. Bullies have been bullied by parents, siblings, or other caregivers and have been taught by these role models that it is okay to take their pain out on others.”
With the above research, one mind at a time, KK is attempting to change mindsets and have course direction for our children, as well as the community. She realizes that to eradicate bullying, LOVE has to be the foundational feeling. When children learn how to love themselves, as well as others, they will be filled with love and less likely to bully. With that in mind, we take the focus off of the negative…bullying… and shine the light on LOVE.
Internet Watcher
The Internet can be a wonderful resource for kids. They can use it to research school reports, communicate with teachers and other kids, and play interactive games. Kids who are old enough to punch in a few letters on the keyboard can literally access the world.
But that access can also pose hazards. For example, an 8-year-old might do an online search for "Lego." But with just one missed keystroke, the word "Legs" is entered instead, and the child may be directed to a slew of websites with a focus on legs — some of which may contain pornographic material.
That's why it's important to be aware of what your kids see and hear on the Internet, who they meet, and what they share about themselves online. There are no censors on the Internet. Anyone in the world — companies, governments, organizations, and individuals — can publish material on the Internet. A service provider links you to these sites, but it can’t control what is on them. It’s up to individuals to make sure that they behave in a way that’s safe and appropriate. More importantly, it’s up to you as parents to monitor what your children are doing.
Take time to talk with your children about internet safety.

The Feeling Coach
During the last few decades, researchers have increasingly come to understand how important it is to understand our emotions and handle them in a healthy way. The term “emotional intelligence,” introduced by Daniel Goleman (1995) in a book by the same name, has become common in both research literature and books written for the general public.
Emotions are a huge part of what makes setting limits for children so difficult. Learning how to manage complex feelings is one of the hardest things for children and adults to master. Karen Cuthrell (KK) keynote speaker, author, lyricist, and performer is the new service provider on the block that offers a fresh approach to educate us on feelings. Using her award winning book and CD, Meet the Feeling Friends™, as the Feeling Coach, KK with the assistance of the Feeling Friends provides us with the vocabulary and tools necessary to discuss feelings. Participants of professional development seminars, workshops, trainings and performances understand the different emotions they experience, why they occur, and how to handle them. These sessions open the avenues for participants to feel loved, supported, respected and valued.
