Bullying Prevention





 

If you think your child is being bullied...
  • Ask the child directly. Often children do not wish to tell their parents due to shame or fear that bullies will retaliate. Look for signs such as: fear of going to school, lack of friends, missing belongings and torn clothing, and increased fearfulness and anxiety.

  • If threats of violence are made against your child, bring these issues to the attention of the school personnel.

  • Work with the school immediately to make sure your child is safe, that eective consequences are applied toward the bully, and that monitoring at school is adequate. Advocate for involvement of the bully’s parents. If the bullying is happening to and from school, arrange for the child to get to school with older, supportive children, or take him or her until other
    interventions can take place.

  • If your child is timid, and lacks friends, try to arrange for your child to participate in positive social groups which meet his or her interests.

  • Suggest that the school implement a comprehensive bullying prevention program.
