I am professor Eman Gaad
the Dean of the Faculty of Education at
the bridge universe in Dubai I’m also a
professor of special and inclusive
education today we’ll give some tips for
teachers when it comes to handling
children with invisible disabilities and
the most ability of them being bullied
tip number one encourage activities that
involve children in talking about their
feelings roleplay for example is one of
those activities who are actually the
person who’s more likely to be a bully
can be in the shoes of a person who’s
pulled up more likely to be bullied that
help children to tolerate and help them
to accept each other and feel the
feelings of a person who’s vulnerable
for bullying number two be explicit
about success stories and failure
stories talk to children about those who
have been bullied and made it through
and those who have been bullied and
didn’t make it through and let them
understand the impact of their action on
other people tip number three identify
the strengths and weakness through games
one of the games we often do the
children is to set them down in circles
and talk about what they can do and what
they cannot do and then they exchange
those little papers and then we talk
about our strengths and weakness which
is very good to the children to tolerate
strengths and weakness through such a
game to understand that they can have
strengths and they also can have
weaknesses tip number four always look
in the children when it comes to
terminology support the children
understanding that words can hurt use
terminologies that are often accepted
rather than being negative always with
the person before the disability for
example ask your children to use things
like calling the children by their names
rather than by something that they
cannot do it’s hurtful are not
acceptable
tip number five always creates options
for children to get out of a situation
when they are angry instead of bullying
somebody else
it is often known as controlling
self-control is a technique that many
children now are using in order to be
aware of their anger before they burst
out and start to bully somebody else
happy teaching everyone
