Most of us know if we teach our kids to say something mean back that it can snowball into a fight. What if we could say something back that was neutral and not offensive and funny all at the same time?
Responding to Teasing – What do I say when someone calls me a name?

Teaching Students to Roll with Conflict

“You are an idiot!” “Why are you so weird!” “Your mother sucks!” “You’re so stupid & I hate you!” Just a few emotional attacks that students endure at school. Some students react with aggression, some with tears and isolation, and others feel unaccepted and alone. Parents want so much to give their students the skills to deal with these attacks.

Students need help to respond without provoking, teasing back or without letting the aggressor see them upset or angry. Teaching students to roll with conflict with confidence and humor can help them defuse tension or hurt feelings, reduce additional teasing and build confidence. For example, if someone says “your an idiot” the victim could say “That’s the best thing I heard all day!’ Here are some more examples:

1. Youre an Idiot!-Thank you!

2. Freak-Thats the best thing Ive heard all day

3. Stupid-You just made my day
