Hi Parents...We hear so much about children being bullied. Some children are so scared they get sick just thinking about what they have to face when they go to school. Bullying has been around for many generations. If you've talked to your child about things they can try to stop this on their own and it still continues, here are some things that may help. Most of the time this can be resolved by talking to the childs teacher. I would think that he or she has some way of resolving this without making your child more of a target. You could also try talking with the parents of these children. Many times these parents are horrified that their child would act this way. You could also gently confront the children yourself and ask them to stop. If you are a parent of a child who is doing the bullying, make time to have a conversation about why they do that. Ask him/her how they think the other child feels when they are mean. Listen...let him know you don't approve of the behaviour but you know he/she is a good child and you trust that from now on they will be kinder. If you have questions about how you can help your child handle bullies, or how to talk to your child about not bullying, please contact me. I would love to help.
Happy Parenting
