 It is a fair assumption to say that bullies have existed in every school throughout history. Bullying can make school a nightmare for kids. How do you know if your child is being bullied? It is not something they will often approach a parent or adult about when it happens, so you need to give your child the knowledge and tactics necessary to avoid bullying or put it to an end when it does happen.
Firstly, let your children know that they should tell you, a teacher or another adult that they trust when they feel they are being bullied. The only way to fix the problem is to first recognize it. You should also point out the difference between telling and tattling. Tattling is telling on someone else to get them in trouble, while telling is seeking help for someone who is in danger, be it physical or emotional.
When walking to and from school or sitting in the lunch room, it is a good idea for your child to use the buddy system. Kids are less of a target when they are not alone and they can give each other support. So what happens if your child does not have any friends? It may take a healthy self-esteem for them to do it, but you should encourage your children to reach out to other kids and make friends.
A great way to build self-esteem is to enroll your child in some sort of self-defense program. Rather than building aggression, this will teach them the self-control they need to only fight in a self-defense situation. Not only that, but it will make them feel better about themselves and therefore make them a harder target for bullies.
If your child does bring your attention to safety concerns at school, either with them or another student, you should notify the school. You expect school to be a place where your children can learn in safety and not have to worry about being bullied. This may call for closer supervision or even a training program to teach staff and students how to resolve conflicts without violence.
In today’s society, bullying does not only take place on the playground. Bullying also exists online through email or instant messaging. One way to deal with online bullying is to keep your computer in a high-traffic area of your house, like in the kitchen or living room. This way you can safely monitor your child’s online activity without making them feel like you are invading their personal space. Teach your child not to open any message or email from someone they do not know. If they get a message from someone who is trying to harass them, they should let you know right away. You can also teach them how to block unwanted instant messages.
The most important thing for your children to know about bullying is that they are never alone. You need to create an environment in your home where they feel like they can tell you when something is wrong, and hopefully you can find a school that provides a similar environment. They should always feel like they have an adult they can confide in, so that the problem can be rectified.
