Tips to help your child deal with Bullies at school.

Bullies seem to be found in every city and state and in most all schools. It seems that combating bullies is a difficult task for schools nationwide and while they’re doing everything possible to keep each and every student thriving in an educational environment, it is up to parents to help protect their children against bullies and bullying.

Bullies are probably one of the biggest fears that a parent has when they send their children off to school. Bullying these days has certainly taken on a whole new level compared to long ago when it was nothing more than a few (seemingly) harmless names. These days, however, bullying is far more damaging, sometimes causing extreme emotional damage to the child that can last them for many years ahead.

Here are a few tips that you can practice with your child to ensure that a bully doesn’t cause problems during their school year, or that should they find themselves the victim of the teasing and taunting, they’re well-aware of the right ways to address the issue.

1. It is important that your child knows that they can talk to you about problems they’re facing at school, including issues with bullies. Reinforce the fact to your child that the bullying is not their fault.

2. Do not hesitate to talk to the school principle concerning the issues with bullying that your child is experiencing. Perhaps it is not an issue they are aware of and until they have this information, little changes will take place.

3. Help your child learn how to avoid the bully whenever possible.

4. Help your child learn assertiveness. While fighting back is not encouraged, it is important that your child stand up for himself when being bullied. Oftentimes bullies choose children they perceive as weaker to bully. When your child shows that he isn’t weak, the bully is likely to continue their efforts. Watch for signs that your child is being bullied. Sometimes your child may be embarrassed and not want to talk about the problem. It is your job to intervene before the problem becomes more serious.
