You're stupid! You're a baby! As we all know, name-calling is one of many inappropriate ways that children express themselves when they're feeling angry or frustrated. To the child on the receiving end of name-calling it can be a painful experience. This program focuses on the reasons for name-calling and how it affects others. Viewers also learn how to be more assertive so they can stop others from calling them names.
