Bullies, Bystanders & Backbone: How to Spot It, Stop It, and Strengthen Your Kid

Not every mean moment is bullying - and not every child who bullies is cruel. In this premiere episode of No One Told Me This Part, Shannon Cascio shares the real differences between teasing, conflict, and bullying - and why getting clear on those lines helps us protect and empower our kids.

Drawing on decades of experience in child development, martial arts, and running Kid Space, Shannon offers grounded tools to help your child build resilience, speak up with confidence, and recover from harm - whether they’re on the receiving end or they’re the one causing it.

In this episode:

• How to recognize the difference between teasing, conflict, and bullying
• What to do when your child is being hurt - or doing the hurting
• Why martial arts works for both targets and aggressors
• A personal story Shannon has never shared - and how it shaped everything

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “How do I help my child navigate social pain in a real, lasting way?” - this conversation is for you.
