Ask Ashley: The Question I Get Asked by 5th Graders ALL the Time. (New Podcast!)

The transition of the end of the year and the unknowns about a new school year are quickly approaching. Whether your kid is ending 5th grade and about to enter middle school, already in it, or about to transition out of it, you're likely experiencing a wave of emotion.  Maybe you're feeling...

• Grief for no more in-person school days, and no graduation ceremony.
• Excitement for slower days, more sun, and more time outside.
• Nervous about all the change that's about to come..or already happening.

When I talk about change, especially for 5th and 8th graders, the question I get asked all the time is...

Does bullying really happen? And, what do we do about it?

This week I'm excited to announce I talk about exactly this in my NEW podcast:

Ask Ashley! Q&A for teens, by teens, with some expert advice by yours truly. 

In this episode:  

• Anna, a 5th grader from Colorado, asks if the bullying we see in the movies is actually real, or is it dramatized?  
• Calvin, a 6th grader, lets her know that bullying comes in big and small ways
• While I give the top three strategies on how to start to navigate bullying N.O.W.

Remember: We’re in this together, and stronger forever.
