Home - Tangled Ball - Bullying Prevention and Education

Getting to the heart of bullying prevention

It's messy. It's complicated. Like a Tangled Ball.

But there is hope when we untangle one string at a time.

In other words, it’s a tangled ball of unpredictable behavior—perpetually challenging for children and parents alike. And although there’s no one size fits all solution, no child who faces bullying should ever feel alone or diminished.

Our mission is to promote the best messages and the most effective tools to recognize it at its core. The goal is to share well-researched information that helps nurture leadership skills such as empathy, resilience and confidence in this new neighborhood which now spans from the playground to our digital world.

Bullying prevention requires leadership, first on the part of a parent, and then, as children come of age, through their own strength and character.

Speaking Events

Many things were canceled beginning in 2020. Unfortunately bullying and cyberbullying were not. It’s time to start up the conversation again; this time virtually.
