How can you help? |
 If your child’s school, or a neighbor or friend, or someone else, tells you you child is a bully, take a deep breath, listen and admit your child has a problem.
|
Here’s where you should start to help your child:
- Sit down and talk to your child. Tell them you know about their aggressive behavior, and that it has to change.
- Tell them the consequences of bullying someone, and that it causes pain to others, whether its physical, verbal or cyberbullying.
- Ask them if anything is wrong, and does something in their lives need to change in order for them to change.
- Meet with their teacher and find out the teacher’s perspective. Let them know you are working to help stop your child from bullying.
- Seek additional counseling if needed for your child.
