9. Dealing with Bullying or Exclusion (Social Skills Worksheet)

Helping Kids Build Confidence & Stand Up for Themselves in Social Situations

Not everyone we meet is kind, and sometimes kids experience bullying, exclusion, or peer pressure. While they can’t control how others behave, they CAN control how they respond with confidence, resilience, and self-respect. This CBT & ACT-based printable worksheet helps children handle unkind behaviour, build self-confidence, and learn how to stand up for themselves and others.

✔ Writing Activity – Standing Up for Myself – A reflection exercise where kids write about past challenges with bullying or exclusion and explore positive ways to respond.
✔ Coping Skill – The “S.A.F.E” Method for Handling Bullying – A four-step guide that teaches kids how to Stay Calm, Assert Themselves, Find Support, and Exit if Needed.
✔ Homework – Confidence & Inclusion Reflection – Encourages kids to help others who may feel excluded and practice using their confidence strategies.
