What I like about WITS is it teaches them to apply any strategy to a problem and not just let the problem go on as if that’s how they’re meant to be treated in life.

Using WITS with
Your Child
Although the WITS Programs start at school, parents have an important role to play. Talking about WITS at home teaches children to apply these strategies beyond the school walls.

Check out the new Using WITS with Your Child section to learn more about peer conflict, how to start conversations with your child about peer victimization and how to support the WITS Programs at home and at your child’s school.
