Newsletter
Spring 2020 Issue 1
Welcome to the UpStanders newsletter specifically designed for parents, guardians, and caregivers of middle school students. As we work with kids in the UpStanders: Stand Up to Bullying program to create a kinder, more respectful community, we would also like to provide you, as a caregiver, the resources you need to support your student.

Coronavirus, Online Learning, Social Isolation and Cyberbullying: How to Support Our Students
By Sameer Hinduja![](https://www.holocaustedu.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Conversing-with-kids-graphic@2x-1024x408.png)
Research shows that children look to parents and caregivers for advice and help on tough decisions. Start conversations about daily life and feelings with questions such as these:
- What made you laugh today?
- What made you feel proud today?
- Share with me one thing you learned in history (or any other subject) today.
- Share something about your day and ask your kids for their advice on how you should handle it.
- We want to do something together as a family this weekend, what would your top 3 choices be?

Research shows that approximately 1 out of every 5 students reports being bullied. This research, and more, informed the Holocaust Center of the need to develop a bully prevention program. We recognized some commonalities between perpetrators, victims and bystanders from the time period of the Holocaust to modern day bullying situations.
