What if the way we’re trying to stop bullying is actually making it worse?

If you've ever felt helpless watching a child be bullied—or been the one bullied yourself—this episode offers a powerful reframe. Instead of quick fixes or shame-based discipline, we explore how Compassionate Humane Education (CHE) is creating real change by helping every student feel seen, heard, and safe.

· Learn why punishment-first approaches often fail—and how empathy can disrupt the cycle.

· Discover how to help kids (and adults) find their voice, set boundaries, and rebuild community.

· Get inspired by real-life practices that make kindness a daily, teachable habit, not just a slogan.

Press play now to discover how a school built on empathy and accountability is transforming lives—and how you can be part of the change.

Plant the Change is a podcast about healthier living, plant-based eating, sustainable choices, and compassionate education. Each episode offers insights on plant-based nutrition, conscious parenting, vegan values, and animal rescue—giving parents, families, educators, and changemakers the tools to raise health-conscious, emotionally intelligent kids. Rooted in the principles of Compassionate Humane Education, Plant the Change helps inspire the next generation of eco-friendly, compassionate changemakers.

Our Compassionate Humane Education (CHE) Framework at CHEImpact.org is now available for schools, sanctuaries, educational programs, and families who want to bring kindness, empathy, and compassion-centered learning into their own communities. Whether you’re an educator, a parent, or part of an animal rescue or sanctuary team, the CHE Framework provides ready-to-use tools that uplift learning environments and build a more compassionate world.
