Bully
by JustinBullying is a very serious problem that can affect your child’s mental and physical health. If you feel your child is being bullied but does not want to talk about it, you can look for some of the warning signs. Kids that are bullied are usually shy, quiet and reserved. They lack self confidence and normally don’t speak up. Other children may become angry and start expressing themselves through anger. They may bully other children or may frequently get in fights. They usually have behavior problems.
If you find out your child is being bullied, there are a couple steps you can take to build your child’s self confidence. Because most bullying occurs at school, talk to the principal and vice principal about monitoring and controlling bullying better. Teach your child to walk away from the bullying and to tell an adult. This is the only effective means for the bullying to stop.
If your child still lacks confidence after being bullied, try to get them involved in social activities that can help them make friends and meet other kids. Things like sports and recreation programs, drama clubs, church youth groups and music groups may be the key to your child’s confidence. Find something they enjoy and encourage them to pursue it by joining a social club that shares their interest. Once they realize that there are other students like them that share their interests and want to be their friend, they will start to rebuild their confidence.
