    I know most o us think o summer as the best time o year, but or me I love the all. Its a time o year that brings change and thestart o the Holliday Season. Like most Ontarians I hate to let go o the warm days o summer with the longer days and a tone

    o outdoor un to be had by all. e all is just as much un with all the local airs and the smell in the air o leaves turning, it isa magical thing. In my home there are homemade soups and a hot chocolate always nearby as the nights cool down. Now add inHalloween and anksgiving and I or one am addicted to the buzz o kids back to school and the rush o colour all around me.

    Fall brings us all together as we start the move to winter. Bringing your amily closer to your communityis a big part o why we do this magazine and with the change in weather; it should be the same withpeople. I you have a little extra in your budget you might want to donate something back to you localood bank or give a helping hand to someone who is not as ortunate as yoursel.

    We would like to welcome a new sales managers on board with O.U.R. Magazine or everyday living.Dave Dinan as market manager or Peterborough joins the team or that territory.

    Now... On to the best part o season... HALLOWEEN. It might seem like a long way of but the dressup starts sooner than you might think. As adults some o us still dress up and head out to enjoy a nighto un. Be sure you plan your costume early so that you are not le out o the un. Remember, that all

    the good stuf goes ast or the little ones and you might end up wearing a bed sheet i you dont planahead. is scary night is un or all!

    Theyve arrived! Cool evenings; the kids can sleep and I cannally enjoy a cup of tea in my garden! Unfortunately, summers

    gone, my garden is tired and fall maintenance will begin. Teresnever any rest for the wearyL or, is there? I ponder as I lookover my landscape of spent blooms mingled with a new ush of

    yellow clover and dandelions, dried stems and seed pods fromcolourful days past and the nudge of fall creeping in as my oncelush green foliage begins to show its autumn yellows. What to do?

    As the sun goes down, the last of the violet rays fading, and I drinkmy last sip of tea; it sets upon me. Family days! One Saturday amonth for the next three months; and the rest of the time is mine!

    September we clean-up the gardens; remove unsightly foliage,

    tired annuals and weeds (placing them in a huge pile and chop witha lawn mower to be compost ready), harvest seed heads and stems(storing them in a paper bag to use when accenting snowmen!),and ll in bare spots with fresh fall mums, kale, asters, pansies andcollections of pumpkins and gourds (giving the garden a back toschool look!)

    October would involve piles of leaves strategically placed topromote jumping contests (whether soaring o a swing likesuperman or plunging from the picnic table like a deep sea diver!).Aer the leaves have been redistributed all over the lawn, Ill runover them with the lawn mower before collecting them into bagsmaking them compost ready as well. Te game of Squirrel could

    be played (Who can burry the most nuts? bulbs!) I best rememberto rake out the soil when Im done. Squirrels arent very smart,when they see a small tu of disturbed soil they think they haveburied a nut, dig it up, take a bite and yuck! Not a nut, so they tossit! Destroying my entire tulip planting!

    November is the time to hill-up roses, mulch tender perennials andcreate epees and ents for shrubs wanting a little protection from

    winter winds (remembering to outline them with Christmas lights

    Aer

    30 plus years working in real estate I havebeen repeatedly asked why use a broker and do

    I really save anything in the long run? I can do thismyself . Tis is a haunting question as I have seen some

    terrible mistakes happen without the partnership of a seller/buyer and agent. Now with the onset of the Internet, I see moreand more as agents are called in at the 11th hour to save the familyhome from garage sale tactics and money draining marketingschemes that rarely work out for both the seller and buyer.

    Have you heard this one? A guy walks into a bar and the bartendersays: Did you hear about our poor friend Bob who bought hisfriends house on a handshake? Bob gets the pretty little house inthe country and within a month, the well goes dry, the septic needsreplacing and the roof is shot! Yes Sir, had to spend $28,000 bucksto x it up and had to sell it again right awayyup poor guy had tomove back in with this parents with his kid!

    Sad story, but true. But guess what? Tey split the savings oncommission!

    If youre thinking of selling your home, doing it yourself to savethe real estate commission has probably crossed your mind. Butif youre selling experience is limited to garage sales, you shouldrealize you will be undertaking a task which requires specializedknowledge, nancial resources and a considerable amount of timand eort. Buying or selling a house is usually the largest nanciatransaction a family ever makes. Getting the right price at the ritime takes all the selling skills of a real estate professional.

    And while you might be lucky, chances are you will end up takintoo low an oer either because you havent appealed the right wato the right potential buyer, or youve run out of patience andtime. In most cases, it takes longer to sell a house privately thanit does if you use the services of a real estate rm. Tis is becausemost people dont have access to the communications resourcesof the real estate professional. For instance, real estate salespeoplcan reach hundreds, even thousands of potential buyers throughuse of the MLS system, broad advertising, the internet and socianetworking. Major real estate Brokerages also has cross-countryreferral and relocation services that can pinpoint potential buyerfrom thousands of kilometres away. Private individuals usually

    have neither the resources nor the professional aliations to takadvantage of such selling tools. If you sell privately, you may havespend hundreds of dollars in advertising and marketing promotito entice a sucient number of potential buyers to look at your

    property. When you hire a sales representative, the real estatecommission covers all the marketing costs, plus it pays for theirexperience and time on the job.

    can show your home to its best advantage and can marry the needsof the buyer with the features of your home they will take the timeto search out potential buyers, show your home and close the deal.

    Most homeowners are not prepared to answer hundreds ofcalls and emails from the curious, spend evenings and weekends

    showing the home or arrange open houses on Saturdays andSundays A real estate sales representative is prepared to take on allthese tasks. Teir oce has full time sta to answer the calls, weedout window shoppers from the serious buyers and have the timeto show your home to potential buyers. Of equal importance, theyknow the legal aspects of preparing oers, amendments, waivers,releases, corresponding documents and are familiar with mortgagenancing and how to shop for the best interest rates available forthe buyer.

    Now back to our friend Bob. Well, hes happy living back living in hisparents basement with his son. A little, gun shy and a little wiser.

    they generally contract with high risk loan companthat will charge you upwards of 15-23% in intereor make deals for no interest with payment in fuwith a certain time period that will not meet mbudgets. A great dentist, you have been with fomore than ve years might set you up with an ihouse plan that will work for you and your neeIt never hurts to ask.

    If you are looking for cosmetic changes to yoursmile? ....... I can assure you that you are notcovered in Ontario Canada under any insuranc

    plan. You are on your own. Braces are anothertopic all together! So for now lets start with a

    few basic ideas to change the grey, yellow to brighwhite. Brush every day with the correct tooth brus

    and the right tooth paste. I recommend a check upwith your dentist and ask what will improve your smil

    with regular daily dental maintenance. I always think yoshould be real about your smile. You should ask what resul

    you will achieve and how long it will take you on this schedul

    Never rely on the advertised time or results as they may vary forindividual to another

    Making the perfect smile is not easy aer years of bad dentalhygiene or genetic predisposition. Dental restoration is the mosexpensive way of resolving your dental needs and achieving thesmile of your dreams. Lets start with the cleaning of your smile.Tis will cost about $800 in cold hard cash as this is the rst stepthat the dentist will need to do to determine the level of workneeded while he sets the stage for more work to come.

    Crown$ & Veneer$ ......Tey are all very real and scary deals in tdental world. With veneers they will prep and shave o the entirfront facing teeth you want to change. Ten they make a cast of

    the teeth and you have a new smile within a week. Te down sideof this is that the veneers only last about 5-7 years and you have tgo back and spend about $1000 per tooth and you are committeto this process for the rest of your life. Crowns oer a whole tooapproach with you having all but the core of your tooth removedand a whole new outside placed on the tooth. What generally go

    wrong and many people have had this happen, is the inner toothdies beneath the full crown and the tooth becomes grey and deadleading to removal or implants at $4000 per tooth.

    My Best advice- Start brushing now and do it aer every meal anbefore bedtime three times a day. Pick a great oss and mouth

    wash and do that once a day, morning or night is up to you. Avothe over the counter teeth whiteners and ask your dentist or try local laser clinic for real results that last. Your idea of perfect teetis real but the time and money is the perfect storm of nance andheartbreak if you do not talk to a trusted professional. ALWAYconsult two or more dentists on treatment and this is not the timto make impulsive purchases on decaying teeth. You might nd

    your bank account decaying and no results to show o the perfecsmile you have always want. Do not cross over to the dark side ofthe enamel.

    I want to start with the simple fact: Te perfect teeth and smiles

    we see the Hollywood stars ash are generally not real teeth at all.Most have had veneers or caps installed...

    I think it is safe to say we all want the perfect smile. How toget there might be a long road of pain and nancial cost that theaverage person might equate to the purchase of a twenty thousanddollar car every 5-10 years depending on what they will pay for theend result.

    As a parent I look orward to the beginning o the school year or manyreasons. One, I get back to a schedule o some sorts and I nd mysel with a bito spare time to attend to the projects I seem to have le at the side o the roadduring the long summers days spent with the kids. e second is, I have some timto plan out the upcoming season with Halloween just around the corner and theanksgiving dinner I have all planned out in my head.

    Like most other parents, time is the key actor on what really gets done around thouse and what really happens, so I wanted to share a ew great tips on how to satime and money as I have little o either o them to spare. So on with the Tips aTricks or Halloween.

    e rst tip or saving money is, use what you have and throw away anything youhave not used in two or more years. I had a real problem with holding on the evecute little dress or costume I had made or pick up as my children have grown. Yomight ask why? e simple answer is, I wanted to hold on a bit longer and kepttelling others that I might have grandchildren one day who might benet romall my hard work... e truth I like to horde my holiday treasures. I now reuseeverything I can and make the most o what I have. Last year I did somethingothers might think was a bit strange. I hauled out all my Halloween bins and ouabout twenty costumes and it so happens that my youngest child wanted to be a that year so I did something new. I created a dress up zoo. I ound as many stufeanimals I had around the house and even got a ew rom the local thri store anddressed them all up in all the costumes I had. Well the efect was outstanding.e kids loved the dress up ZOO Idea and to add a bit o scary, I picked up oupackages o ake webbing and some cool lights at the dollar store. So we made thold costumes new by making the haunted zoo.

    I also would like to suggest that i you live in or near thecounty, try an aernoon out. Taking a drive down old roadsto see what Mother Nature has to ofer. By using what is innature like, old branches and dried grass, you can make aspooking display that will bring joy to all. Dried leas alsomake a great window display with removable tape. elook o alling leas outside ads a touch o class to the glassmaking the whole thing seem like a real efort.

    e Candy should be simple and avoid homemade goodiesunless it is or amily and riends. You might want to runout to Wal-Mart, but try your local bulk ood store orsome great treats and even more or your dollar. You will bevery surprised to nd that this is cheaper and the candy isthe same just at a lower price.

    You will have to spend a bit more money when it comes totodays kids and what they want to dress up in. is year thebig ones to buy are or, Captain America, Harry Potterand the always popular Transormers. I suggest gettingthem early as they sell out ast. is will avoid the tears andtantrums o late costume shopping as I once ound out theyear every child wanted to be the magic wielding HarryPotter and I was late to the game and learned my lesson.

    Have a spooky Halloween and as always SAFTY FIRST!

    We spent this winter very joyously and o good times, due to LOrdre de Bon Temps that I established here, which each person useul or their health and more benecial than any sort o medicine twe could have used. e Order was presented as a Chain o oce twe placed with some small ceremony, at the neck o one o our peopcharging him that day with going hunting; the next day we gave it

    who were with us - Voyages o Champlain: 1613

    American thanks-giving traditions inevitably outheir way into Canada among the men and wom who remained loyal to England and subsequemoved to Canada.

    And why do we celebrate our anksgivingOctober, rather than in November, as the Americdo Practically-speaking, being urther noour growing season ends sooner and thereour harvest season is sooner. Also, since anksgiving has its origins, at least partly, in

    tradition o the harvest estival, it makes sense to be timed accordin

    - the harvest estival is typically timed in accordance with the harvmoon, the rst ull moon ollowing the autumnal equinox.

    So this anksgiving, as we raise our glasses in good cheer, letalso recall the exploits o Champlain, as we decorate our houses wpumpkins and turkeys, let us also recall the conviction and sacricthe early United Empire Loyalists, and as we sit down to our easts,or small, let us remember to give thanks to our good ortune to live country o bounty.

    By Jon Oldham

    Each year, on the second Sunday in October, Canadians celebrateanksgiving. But to what are we giving thanks? oughts oanksgiving inevitably turn to visions o pumpkin pie, attened turkeys,tangy cranberries, over-lled cornucopias and quaint gatherings oPilgrims thankul to have a stockpile o ood to get through the winter.But beyond the greeting card trappings and stereotypes lies a historyas rich and varied as the easts we normally associatewith the holiday.

    For starters, we all know that Americans andCanadians celebrate anksgiving at diferent timesbut it turns out that the diferences run deeper.

    With anksgiving, the Americans pay homageto the Pilgrims and the hardships they enduredestablishing their early settlements.

    In Canada, however we simply give thanks or thebounty o the all harvest similar to the ancientEnglish and European tradition o the harvest estival.

    e origin o Canadian thanks-giving goes back tothe days o English explorer, Martin Frobisher. In1578, Frobisher saely returned rom an expedition in search o the

    north-west passage (no small eat since others like Hudson and Franklinwere not so lucky) and held a ormal ceremony in gratitude or survivingthe long journey back to what is now Newoundland.

    e French explorers and early settlers also had much to be thankulor. Lie was hard or the Europeans who were, at rst, unaccustomed tothe daunting wilderness and harsh climate o early Canada. Samuel deChamplain and his ollowers regularly gave thanks with huge easts andeven ormed the Order o Good Cheer (LOrdre de Bon Temps) toensure that the tradition o easting and entertainment would continue.

    ThoseNights

    We all have a bad nights sleep every now and again, but what ifit was happening every night? Well you could be suering froma potentially life-threatening condition that is far more common

    than generally understood. First described in 1965, sleep apneais a breathing disorder characterized by brief interruptionsof breathing during sleep. It owes its name to a Greek word,apnea, meaning want of breath. Tere are two types of sleepapnea: central and obstructive. Central sleep apnea, which is lesscommon, occurs when the brain fails to send the appropriatesignals to the breathing muscles to initiate respirations.Obstructive sleep apnea is far more common and occurs when aircannot ow into or out of the persons nose or mouth althougheorts to breathe continue.

    In a given night, the number of involuntary breathing pauses orapneic events may be as high as 20 to 30 or more per hour. Tesebreathing pauses are almost always accompanied by snoring betweenapnea episodes, although not everyone who snores has this condition.Sleep apnea can also be characterized by choking sensations. Tefrequent interruptions of deep, restorative sleep oen lead to earlymorning headaches and excessive daytime sleepiness.

    Who GEts slEEp ApNEA?

    Sleep apnea occurs in all age groups and both sexes but ismore common in men (it may be underdiagnosed in women)and possibly young African Americans. It has been estimatedthat as many as 18 million Americans have sleep apnea. Four

    percent of middle-aged men and 2 percent of middle-agedwomen have sleep apnea along with excessive daytime sleepiness.

    People most likely to have or develop sleep apnea include thosewho snore loudly and also are overweight, or have high bloodpressure, or have some physical abnormality in the nose, throat,or other parts of the upper airway. Sleep apnea seems to runin some families, suggesting a possible genetic basis. For manysleep apnea patients, their spouses are the rst ones to suspectthat something is wrong, usually from their heavy snoring andapparent struggle to breathe. Coworkers or friends of the sleepapnea victim may notice that the individual falls asleep during theday at inappropriate times (such as while driving a car, working,

    or talking). Te patient oen does not know he or she has aproblem and may not believe it when told. It is important thatthe person see a doctor for evaluation of the sleep problem.

    WhAt CAusEs slEEp ApNEA?

    Certain mechanical and structural problems in the airway cauthe interruptions in breathing during sleep. In some people,apnea occurs when the throat muscles and tongue relax duringsleep and partially block the opening of the airway. When themuscles of the so palate at the base of the tongue and the uvu(the small eshy tissue hanging from the center of the back ofthe throat) relax and sag, the airway becomes blocked, makingbreathing laboured and noisy and even stopping it altogether.Sleep apnea also can occur in obese people when an excessamount of tissue in the airway causes it to be narrowed. Witha narrowed airway, the person continues his or her eorts to

    breathe, but air cannot easily ow into or out of the nose ormouth. Unknown to the person, these results in heavy snoring

    periods of no breathing, and frequent arousals (causing abruptchanges from deep sleep to light sleep). Ingestion of alcohol ansleeping pills increases the frequency and duration of breathin

    pauses in people with sleep apnea.

    If you suspect you or your spouse may have sleep apnea you shoseek out medical advice. If you are suering from this conditiocheck your local listings for suppliers of equipment such asShoppers Home Health Care stores in your local community.

    hoW Is slEEp ApNEA trEAtEd

    Te specic therapy for sleep apnea is tailored to the individuapatient based on medical history, physical examination, andthe results of polysomnography. Medications are generally noteective in the treatment of sleep apnea. Oxygen administratiomay safely benet certain patients but does not eliminate sleepapnea or prevent daytime sleepiness. Tus, the role of oxygen ithe treatment of sleep apnea is controversial, and it is dicult

    predict which patients will respond well. It is important that theectiveness of the selected treatment be veried; this is usuallaccomplished by polysomnography.

    By Tom NormanOnce a year we all gather around a table and share a meal. at is the simplest description I have or

    anksgiving. In our home o many, we have lost the real meaning o anksgiving as we ght over the TV,ootball or cartoons or the kids, and the universal argument concerning white meat verses dark meat, overwhich is better and why the gravy never tasted the same.

    In Canada we enjoy so many reedoms and rights other cultures never inherently have or get. I ask you...why even bother with this holiday i we cannot seem to be thankul? I am not a political person in anyway,nor do I eel akin to any social network that denes me as a person. I simply dont have a point o reerenceor thanksgiving other than a day of work and a good meal. So whats wrong with that?

    I seem to view lie as something that is owed to me. I have recently ound many reasons why this iswrong. I had le behind the very truth o what being thankul is and giving to other does.

    Having a amily and a job might seem like the dream lie. What i you lost your job or your amily?Who are you then? By the very denition o society you are down and out. In North America, Canadianshave been somewhat lucky not to have the economic decline the U.S. has had over the past 4 years but wehave had a lot o un-employment that we cannot ignore. I have a riend that has a great education and a wie

    with a two year old at home who lost his job in the all o 2010. He has been looking or work or a year nowand the real acts o lie are starting to kick in. e house sold at 19% less the value at time o purchase, nosavings le and an unnished basement to call home.

    Now you might all say the same thing I did at the start He should take whatever job he can! Geta job at a ast ood place or gas station right? It is never that easy. You see, he had a very good job andthe truth is he is over qualied to work outside o his educated eld o work and has never been calledback or interviewed or a position in lesser job opportunity. So what happens now? Welare, not eligible,employment insurance running out...gone and the holidays are ast approaching.

    I was completely wrapped up in my lie until a riend in common told me the depths o the situation andthe hardship my riend was going through. at was the moment I became thankul and that was the verymoment I start to give back. Yes this sounds like the age old story o the Grinch or Scrooge, but it was truly

    an eye opener or me. I was blind to others in need and not everyone can save themselves. I started small. Idropped of some money with the words GIFT on the envelope. I then started to network in my job placeto see what was open and set up an interview. I then called another riend as the job wasnt the right t withmy company and he landed the job. Now this would be the end o the story but he did something I didntexpect. I received a card in the mail and it had these words on it A donation has been made in your name tothe local ood bank the amount was the very same I had placed in the envelope months ago.

    Not only did I give something, so did he and his amily. I nally got that giving back can be in any wayyou want. I have learned that this year at anksgiving we will give thanks and give back to local charities.My amily and riends are what I am thankul or. I think rom now on we should all look around us andtake notice o the community we live in and say a small ank You that we are all in this together, i youchose to be THANKFUL!

    For those of us who own AVs,we all want to keep them in the best

    shape we can, as long as possible, right?Well, winter is just around the coner,and that means cold, possibly wet, andusually dismal weather. You have twochoices with your AV (or UV) when

    winter comes around; ride it, or store it.Either option you choose requires some

    preventative measures to keep your AV running, and we havecompiled a little how-to for all you AV owners out there.

    TO RIDE

    If youre going to be riding your AV this winter, there are stillsome precautions you will need to take in order to keep yourbaby healthy.

    1. Make sure that there is a sucient level of antifreeze in yourradiator to keep the uid from turning into a giant ice cube.

    2. If your AV is jetted lean, the cool, moist air wont help. Makesure your jetting is correct before heading out.

    3. Clean your machine aer each ride. Mud and dirt can eat awayat nishes on your AV, and water can cause rust and corrosion.

    4.Spray your whole AV down witwater dispersant products like WD4

    (which stands for Water Dispersant40th attempt) will keep harmfulmoisture and condensation away frocritical engine parts.

    5. Make sure your chain, cables, linkaand bearings are all properly lubed.

    6. Change your oil and lter. Using synthetic oils will providebetter lubrication in cold weather, especially during cold starts.

    7. Make sure battery terminals are clean, corrosion-free, and ingood working order.

    8. Te last thing you want is an AV that wont start in the frigiwinter. When not in use, keep your battery on a trickle charger tprevent it from drying up or losing charge.

    9. Service the air lter, and check your tires. ires with little treale do worse in the mud than they do on hard pack.

    NOT TO RIDE

    If the weather is just too cold to ride in, you may want to store yoAV. Here is how you do it the right way.

    To Ride?OR NOTTo Ride?

    Make sure there is antifreeze in your radiator. Like we mentionedbefore, a frozen cooling system is a bad thing.

    1. Drain all gas from the carburetor and tank, or use a fuelstabilizer to prevent the gas from turning to varnish while you storeit. rust us, it will save you hours of work when spring rolls around.

    2. Toroughly wash and dry the machine, and lube every movingpart you can access.

    3. Use a water dispersant like WD40 to coat the machine. Tis willprevent rust, corrosion, and oxidization.

    4. Change your oil and lter. Again, use synthetic oils, because theyoer better cold-start lubrication.

    5. Insert a plug into your muer to keep moisture and curiousrodents out.

    6. Remove the battery from the machine, and keep it charged. If itis not a sealed unit, check the uid levels monthly.

    7. Store the AV indoors if p ossible, in a garage that has amore stable temperature than the outdoors. If you have to keepit outdoors, do not leave it on the ground. Roll it onto a sheet

    of plywood to keep condensation from seeping up under theAV cover.

    8. Put the machine up on jack stands to keep the tires fromattening out

    Whatever way you decide to go......have some fun!

    Bullying is about power, control and unhealthy relationships.Simplistic solutions to addressing relationship issues are not realsolutions at all. Healthy relationship building takes time and

    thought. We need thoughtful, sophisticated plans to addresscomplex relationship issues such as bullying.

    In the short term, the safety, security and well-being of the person being bullied should be a schools primary concern.Children who are bullied should not be the ones who have to change classrooms or even change schools, which is oennot possible in smaller communities, yet this is what happens far too oen. If this happens, this means that the victimis victimized twice over, all because the school may not really know what to do. As a parent of a child being bullied, donot accept the bullying behavior as a problem your child has to live with. Te bullying behavior is the responsibility ofthose who bully, not the child being bullied.

    Beware of labeling someone as a bully. Focus on the inappropriate behaviour.

    www.bullying.org has become the worlds most visited and referenced Website about bullying. During the last decade,the Website has hosted millions of visitors and contributors from across Canada and around the world. Te questionsthat are most oen asked are, What did I do to deserve this? And what is wrong with me? Let your kids know thatthey are NO alone and that you are there to listen and to support them. Being bullied is NO their fault and there isa lot can be done about it.

    Schools need to encourage and support students ideas and leadership. Why? Remember the research about mostbullying happening in the context of a peer group, with no adults around? Tats why. Rather than teachers beingtotally responsible for preventing bullying, teachers can become social architects to facilitate students themselvesnding solutions to bullying.

    If most bullying happens in the context of a peer group when adults arent around, we need to give our kids strategiesthey can employ if they are being bullied or if they see bullying happening around them. Te vast majority of students

    indicate that watching bullying makes them feel uncomfortable(Pepler et al., 1997). Tere is also some recent research thatindicates that the psychological eects of observing bullying can be

    just as harmful as those who are being victimized.

    Research also tells us that 15% of a given population may beinvolved with bullying directly as victims or aggressors, that meansthat 85% of a schools population may not be directly involved, but

    they actually ARE all aected, indirectly. We know that it is thesilence of others that gives bullies their power. Young people mustacquire feelings of individual responsibility, but also reect on theirown behaviour when bullying occurs, whether they initiate, receiveor observe bullying. As parents, we can encourage and supportthis. Tat means that teachers and parents need to work togetherto have our kids understand that they have the power to stand upto bullying. However, thats easy for an adult to say to a child, itsoen really hard for kids to do in the context of the schoolyard,school bus or gym change room. Tis is why Bullying.org hasestablished the Canadas Caring Kids Awards. o nominate a

    positive young person who shows this kind of leadership, pleasevisitwww.bullyingawarenessweek.org

    So what can you do as a parent? Ask your child directly if theyare being bullied. Oen children do not wish to tell their parentsdue to shame and embarrassment, or fear that bullies will retaliateif they tell. Look for signs such as: fear of going to school, lackof friends, missing belongings and torn clothing, and increasedfearfulness and anxiety. Work with the school immediately tomake sure your child is safe; that eective consequences are appliedtoward the bully, and that monitoring at school is adequate.Advocate for involvement of the bullys parents. If the bullying ishappening on the way to and from school, arrange for the childto get to school with older, supportive children, or take him orher until other interventions can take place. If your child is timid,

    and lacks friends, try to arrange for your child to participate inpositive social groups which meet his or her interests. Developingyour childs special skills and condence in the context of a positivesocial group can be very helpful. Suggest that the school implementa comprehensive, research-based, anti-bullying program. A homeand school association meeting to discuss and support such aninitiative can be helpful.

    What else can be done? Prepare our kids with support andstrategies. I am ashamed to admit that when my son was much

    younger, he told me that he was being bullied and I actually said tohim, Well son, what are you doing to bring this on? As if it wasHIS fault! I was living proof that the old myths and attitudes aboutbullying die hard. It takes a lot of courage for kids to tell you thatbullying is going on because they are worried that adults will makeit worse. I get this because I use to be one of those parents andteachers who did make it worse. So if your child tells you that theyare being bullied, believe them. Become your childs champion andadvocate. Research informs us that kids oen have to tell a numberof adults before they nally get one to help them.

    What else should parents do to support their child whenapproaching the school? Although as parents we may feel quiteemotional about this, try and keep cool. Dont try and bully your

    childs teacher and principal into dealing with the situation. If yodo, you will be modelling the very behaviour you want to stop.Document everything that happens. Keep a diary. ake photosif you observe physical or material damage. If action is not beingtaken write an e-mail or letter to our childs teacher and copy it tthe school administration outlining the problem. Be specic as tdates, events, physical evidence that you have noted etc. Arrangemeeting to nd out what the school is doing about the situation

    Agree to a timetable and/or a schedule of actions that the schoolwill take. If this schedule is not adhered to as promised, write tothe school and send a copy to the School Board outlining yourconcerns and share the schedule and timetable that the school haagreed to adhere to, which was not followed.

    If its hard for your child to stand up for him / herself, tell themto ignore the bullying and walk away, then tell an adult who canhelp. If theyre scared to talk to an adult, encourage them to ask afriend to go with them. Practice with your child as to what to sayand do the next time they are bullied. Kids who are bullied oenfreeze in such situations. Creating and rehearsing simple scripts

    with pre-planned responses can help a lot. Encourage them to go

    areas where they feel safe. Encourage them to stay close to studewho will stick up for them. Encourage them to look brave and tthe child who bullies to back o. Encourage them to stay calm, tnot to show that they are getting sad or mad, this is what bullies

    want to see. Encourage them to be safe, although there are sometimes when they may have to defend themselves, but ghting baccan make things worse. Encourage them not to blame themselvebeing bullied is NO their fault.

    As parents we will oen say to our kids, Stop telling on yoursister/brother! And then when something really bad happens w

    will ask, Why didnt you tell us? Help your children understanthe dierence between tattling, telling on others just to get themtrouble, versus reporting, which is telling others about a bad or aunsafe situation.

    As parents, we need to be much more aware of our own behavioKids will learn more from what we do and how we act, much mothan from what we tell them. We also need to model a tolerantattitude toward others. Tere are far too many instances of kidstaunting using slurs about race, cultures or sexuality. How manysuicides do their have to be before we as parents realize that suchattitudes and behaviours are learned, oen from home.

    If you suspect your child may be a bully, here are some possiblesymptoms to watch for:

    Abuses family or neighbourhood pets

    orments children - always the instigator Lacks compassion or empathy towards others Gets enjoyment or acts like it is cool when someone gets injur Is a bully at home with adults and siblings Is manipulative with adults, very agreeable, but then does

    whatever they want Is aggressive towards others Lacks social skills, has few friends or friends who go along with

    whatever your child suggests they do Little concern for others feelings

    Does not recognize impact of his/her behaviour on others Aggressive with siblings, parents, teachers, friends, and animals Bossy and manipulative to get own way Possessing unexplained objects and/or extra money Secretive about possessions, activities, and whereabouts Holds a positive attitude towards aggression Easily frustrated and quick to anger Parents may model use of power and aggression by yelling,

    hitting, rejecting child Parents may model use of power and aggression with each othe Siblings may bully child at home Child has friends who bully and are aggressive eachers or coaches may model use of power and aggression by

    yelling, excluding, rejecting

    Here are some things you can do to turn the situation around:

    alk to your child, talk to his or her teachers, and administratoKeep in mind that a bully will try to deny or minimize his or her

    wrong-doing. ake the problem seriously. Children and youth who bullyothers oen get into serious trouble in later life, and may receive

    criminal convictions. Tey may have continuing trouble in theirrelationships with others. Make it clear to your child that you will not tolerate this kind obehaviour, and discuss with your child the negative impact bullyhas on the victims. Do not accept explanations that it was all fun. Arrange for an eective, non-violent consequence, which is in

    proportion with the severity of your childs actions, and his or heage and stage of development. Corporal punishment carries themessage that might is right. Increase your supervision of your childs activities and

    whereabouts, and who they are associating with. Spend time withyour child, and set reasonable rules for their activities and curfew Co-operate with the school in modifying your childs aggressivbehaviour. Frequent communication with teachers and/oradministrators is important to nd out how your child is doing ichanging his or her behaviour. Praise the eorts your child makes toward non-violent andresponsible behaviour, as well as for following home and schoolrules. Keep praising any eorts the child makes. If your child is viewing violent television shows, includingcartoons, and is playing violent video games, this will increase

    violent and aggressive behaviour. Change family and childs viewand play patterns to non-violent ones. Make sure that your child is not seeing violence between

    members of his or her family. Modelling of aggressive behaviour home can lead to violence by the child against others at school anin later life. Seek help from a school psychologist, social worker, or childrenmental health centre in the community if you would like supporin working with your child.

    As teachers, we need to remember that we are expected to liveup to a Professional Code of Conduct. We need to watch ourown language and behaviours in the classroom as well. We may

    think that using sarcasm may appear cool in a middle or highschool class, but it may be quite embarrassing or hurtful tomany students. I also know that some teachers can be bulliesthemselves. Tis cant be tolerated.

    Despite being an increasingly complex and demandingprofession, I believe that as a teacher, I have one primary mission,to create the optimal environment for my students to achieve

    their potential as learners. Students who are scared to come toschool can never achieve their full potential. Many thousands ofstudents miss school every day because of bullying we can andneed to do better for them.

    Te reality is that the best and most eective solutions regardingbullying are ones wherein educators, parents and the community

    work together. Playing the blame game only isolates the variousstakeholders who should be working together in the best interestsof our children.

    Te bad news about bullying is also the good news, in that is thatbullying is about developing healthy relationships, somethinggood parents and teachers have always been good at doing.

    Bullying is about behaviour. When you think about it, behaviourssuch as smoking, drinking and driving, even recycling have allslowly, but surely changed for the better in Canada. I believe that

    while we may never completely eliminate bullying from society, ifwe can work together, we can make great strides in making a betterCanada for our children and our childrens children to grow up in.
