What Can Parents Do if Their Child is Being Bullied?
• Ask your child directly. They may not want to talk about it. Some signs are: avoiding school, social isolation, missing belongings, torn clothing, anxiety and fear.
• Work with the school. Talk to the teacher first, then if necessary ask for a meeting with the counselor and teacher together. It the bullying continues then speak to the principal of the school.
• If you have a timid child who lacks friends, try to arrange for positive social groups which meet his or her interests. Develop your child’s special skills and confidence in the context of a positive social group.

• Do Not Overreact. Take a deep breath! Depending on the severity of the problem, you will need to decide whether to notify school authorities and other parents.
• Listen To Your Child. Avoid questions such as “Why don’t you just stand up to him?”
• Talk To Your Child. Talk to your child about what makes people act like bullies. Bullies are people who are usually confused or unhappy.
• Review Options. Review Options with your child. It is not a good idea to tell the target of bullying to respond in kind, especially to physical aggression; it may place your child at risk. Don’t tell them to go along with what the bully says. Seek others out!
• Encourage Other Friendships. Create and encourage options for your child to join clubs or teams. Invite other kids over. Play dates!
• Boost Child’s Confidence. Praise him/her for facing fears
