Why do we claim to have zero tolerance for bullying when it remains pervasive in society? In this episode, we sit down with Jennifer Fraser to discuss the profound impact of bullying on the human brain. Jennifer uses scientific evidence to illustrate how bullying hurts not just youths' self-esteem and emotions, it has a physical impact on their growing brains. We also discuss the notion of how tough love, old school and other terms continue to be used to excuse toxic behavior, along with how ballet training can begin to heal from past trauma and create a healthier environment for dancers. Tune in for this wide-ranging conversation where the sole focus is on what's most important -- the health and well-being of our kids.
