What should I do if my child is being bullied?
First, talk with your child about the situation. Have they tried standing up for themselves. It is always better to empower children to solve their own problems before rescuing them.
If the child has tried numerous times to advocate for themselves, then adult assistance is needed. Contact the child's teacher to let him or her know of the situation. Many times, children have not made their teacher aware of what's going on.
Strategies could include (these are familiar strategies that we practice in classroom guidance frequently):
- Ignore
- Avoid the student
- Make a joke
- Use an I feel statement "I feel ________ when you ________, please _________.
- Stay in a group - stick up for each other!
