It should not have gotten this far
Bullying isn’t harmless. It should not be tolerated. And if left to fester, it escalates and that escalation can include physical violence that can rob a child of their future!
Why ignoring them doesn’t work
If your kid is being bullied, learn what works to get it to stop and teach it to them. Don’t allow them to continue to suffer. Once you learn it – share this information and pass it on. Thanks and good luck.
Bias, Stereotypes and Trust
When you deal with bullying, if they don’t feel that you have treated them fairly – they will start to lose their trust in you. Is it any wonder that so few report what is happening?
When does bad behavior cross into abuse or bullying?
Harassment is a pattern of behavior that intentionally harasses another person that serves no legitimate purpose. So any behavior that disturbs, upsets or intimidates or is used to control another person that has no legitimate purpose is abusive – intentionally so.
