There is nothing that will awaken our inner momma bear more than hearing our child is being bullied. It can be difficult to know what to do as a parent. Here are a few tips to help you support your child:
- Stay calm.
- Allow them to talk.
- Ask them how they would like to handle the situation.
- Reassure them that bullying can happen to anyone, that there is nothing wrong with them and it's not their fault.
- They don't need to put up with bullying and you are here to help them figure out how to make it stop.
- Brainstorm with them. Take turns role-playing and help them to come up with ideas of how they might respond.
- Depending on the situation explain to them that you may have to contact the school and report it.
- Get support! Talk to a school counselor, teacher, principal, coach or mentor.
