The Have a Go Spaghettio! Success Helper Approach to Bullying

The Have a Go Spaghettio! Success Helper Approach to SEL

embodies the thinking and ideas of Dr. Albert Ellis who created

Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy. His ABC Theory of Emotional

Disturbance is a counselling paradigm used universally to help

people navigate their way through life. Here we consider Bullying

and how we can best address it as educators in the early childhood

context. Jonas Salk hypothesised that we could psychologically

immunise our students so that they develop optimum positive mental

health. We again revisit the red 'I'm worthwhile crocodile!' habit of

thinking which underpins personal agency, assertion, and overall

confidence. This video puts forth how the Rational Emotive

Behaviour Educator can foster, encourage, and reinforce a mindset

that will empower the young child in dealing with challenge,

particularly with bullying. Have a go Spaghettio! helps to

psychologically immunise our young children against the scourge of

bullying as suggested by Jonas Salk, Martin Seligman, and others. As

Dr. Albert Ellis says, the future of psychotherapy is in the school

system. So Have a Go Spaghettio! and 'Give it a Try Banana Pie!'
