 Recognizing the importance of keeping kids safe, the American Taekwondo Association is partnering with Olweus to extend the research-based Olweus Bullying Prevention Program to ATA schools and communities. In the coming year, ATA instructors will counsel kids and parents about the dangers of bullying and teach them how to become part of the solution.
In 2007, ATA began exploring bullying prevention when it introduced its Kidz'n Power child safety curriculum. The Kidz'n Power DVDs taught students and parents how to be preventive in potentially dangerous situations, which included facing bullies. Realizing bullying was one danger on the rise, ATA Headquarters staff assembled a team to study with experts and learn more about how ATA could help fight bullying in schools and communities.
ATA's new bullying prevention program, the Kidz'n Power Bullying Prevention Program, was introduced this year at World Championships in Little Rock, Ark. It falls under the Kidz'n Power umbrella and combines Olweus's data and research with ATA's well-known ability to empower kids at school and in life.
