but rather stand up straight and tell
the bully in a firm tone of voice to
stop or that what was said was not
kind.
• The more parents practice with their
children on how to deal with bullying
the more equipped your child is in
dealing with it effectively. Roleplaying is the most effective strategy
that parents can practice with their
child on what to say and what to do.
• Encourage your child to be in a group,
and help your child on how to stay in
a group. Bullies are less likely to pick
on a child in a group.
In summary, bullying can have
long lasting effects. If your child
becomes withdrawn, depressed,
reluctant to go to school, and a
decline in school performance,
additional professional consultation and intervention is required.
Inform your child’s teachers and
school principal of the situation.
Find out what the schools policy
is in bullying and what action
they will take to protect your child. What
occurs during childhood can set the tone for
the rest of one’s life. Often children who
are bullied become
bullies and participate in violent
behaviors. Seeking
professional
help
earlier can lessen
the risk of lasting
emotional
consequences for your
child.

• If your children have been bullied for
a while, sometimes they start bullying
others. As parents, it is vital to watch
your children for such behaviors.
Teach them how to have more selfcontrol and have
the power by
staying cool and
calm.
• Discuss the
problem with
your child’s
teacher, principal
and school
counselor. A
meeting with all
three can help
everyone figure
out how to help
a child who is
dealing with
bullying.
