Bullying has reached epidemic levels in the US, especially school bullying. Parents are frustrated that schools aren’t doing enough to solve this problem, and schools are frustrated that parents aren’t sending their kids to school with the social skills training they need to get along with one another. In between are the kids, daily subjected to teasing, exclusion, name calling, and other forms of bullying. Too many kids today think that mean, rude, and disrespectful behavior is cool. Cool Kind Kid® endeavors to change that thinking so kids learn that kind, caring, and respectful behavior is cool, and that bullying is the ultimate in uncool.

For years, social skills or social competence training have shown the most success in stopping bullying. However, most of the anti-bullying programs in the marketplace are reactive; addressing the bullying after it happens. Cool Kind Kid addresses bullying proactively. [And most current training doesn’t include the “Cool” factor.]

Cool Kind Kid has been at the forefront of addressing bullying proactively by creating fun, music-enhanced, pilot tested, kid endorsed social skills and bullying prevention products for both parents and schools. Children have fun and are engaged as they learn,  “The KIND kid is the COOL kid, not the BULLY.”™ We have seen changed behavior as kids learn they can be both kind and cool.
