Bulling TIPS

Hey Tired mommas, I recently had to deal with the heart-crunching words from my daughter that she is being bullied at school. Ugh I know kids can be mean I have a background in classroom help but a bully in 1st grade was not what I wanted to deal with. SO I went to my favorite parenting site and read up on how to help her. The link to that article is below.

I also did some research on my own and came up with these to share. 

Talking to a child about being bullied requires sensitivity, empathy, and open communication. Here are some tips to help you have this important conversation:

1. Choose the right time and place:

Find a quiet, private space where your child feels comfortable and safe.

Pick a time when you both have enough time to talk without interruptions.

2.  Listen actively:

Start by asking open-ended questions like, "How has your day been?" or "Is there anything bothering you?"

Let your child speak without interruption, allowing them to express their feelings and experiences.

3. Show empathy and support:

Validate your child's feelings by saying things like, "I'm so sorry you're going through this," or "I can imagine how that must feel."

Assure them that you are there to support and help them through this difficult time.

4. Avoid blame:

Avoid placing blame on your child for the bullying. Instead, focus on the bully's behavior.

Emphasize that bullying is never the victim's fault.

5. Encourage open communication:

Let your child know they can talk to you about anything without fear of judgment or punishment.

Reassure them that sharing their experiences and feelings with you is okay.

6. Understand the situation:

Ask your child for details about the bullying, such as where it happened, who was involved, and how long it has been going on.

Gather as much information as possible to better address the issue.

7. Discuss the effects of bullying:

Talk about the emotional and physical effects of bullying, such as anxiety, depression, and changes in behavior.

Help your child recognize the impact of bullying on their well-being.

If the bullying continues or has severe emotional effects on your child, consider seeking the help of a therapist or counselor to provide additional support.

Remember that addressing bullying is an ongoing process. Keep the lines of communication open with your child and continue to provide emotional support as they navigate this challenging situation.


Stick in there mom, you are doing an amazing job.
