Bully Shmully with Eric Herman

What is Bully Shmully?

Award-winning children’s music performer Eric Herman puts his immense talent for entertaining young audiences to great use in this program, which presents a powerfully effective approach to the subject of bullying and taking personal responsibility for how you conduct yourself. Inspired by noted psychologist Izzy Kalman’s acclaimed “Bullies 2 Buddies” method, Eric’s Bully Shmully program focuses on helping the victims of bullying by giving them the tools they need to approach and respond to situations of criticism and mockery with tact and humor. This not only empowers them to be more self-confident and diplomatic, but also deflates the would-be effect of the critic or bully. Bursting with comedy, audience participation, and outrageously fun songs, Bully Shmully brings an important life message to students that they can use right away and also take with them into adulthood. If this program sounds like it may be in conflict with your school’s specific anti-bullying approach, please note that it is not open for adjustment to conform to other programs.
