Over the years, there have been more and more news about "school violence", but also caused widespread concern in the society, many parents' children have reached the age of kindergarten, parents are also very worried, afraid that children will also experience such things, so in order to avoid the occurrence of such things, parents should teach their children how to protect themselves.
When children are bullied, not all children know how to protect themselves, so parents have the responsibility to help their children, so specifically, what should parents teach their children?
1. Strengthen your child's awareness of protecting yourself
Because children are still young and have limited cognition, they do not have a clear understanding of their rights, so when they are bullied by others, they lack the awareness to protect their rights.
Therefore, in daily life, parents should pay attention to guiding their children and constantly strengthen their children's awareness of rights, which in turn can strengthen their children's awareness of protecting themselves.
For example, parents should tell their children, "The toy is yours, so you have the right to decide whether or not to lend it to someone else to play with!" "The body is yours, so don't let others invade and hurt!"
When the child has a clear understanding of this, he knows when to protect himself, which can be a good way to avoid the child being bullied.
2. Teach your child to warn each other with language
It is also necessary for parents to teach their children to use appropriate language to deter others and protect themselves.
Sometimes, if the child can warn the other party in time not to bully himself, it may also play a deterrent role; but if the child blindly swallows his breath, it may make the other party become more intense and feel that he is a bully.
So, here are some things that parents can teach their children:
"No, you can't! This is my toy! ”
"Stop! I'm going to be angry again! ”
If the child can speak bravely and in time, he may be able to protect himself well.
In fact, these words, especially for four- and five-year-old children, can play a good deterrent effect, so parents really don't ignore this.
3. You can fight back if necessary
We do not preach violence to our children, but we must tell them: "If you are really in danger, in order to protect yourself, remember to fight back if necessary!" ”
Sometimes verbal warning is useless, then if other people start to beat people, the child can use the way to fight back to protect themselves, but if the counterattack is useless, it is also okay to choose to run away, in short, to do everything possible to protect themselves, this is the most important.
The way of counterattack is not static, so parents need to tell their children that when encountering this situation, the child should be flexible according to the actual situation, and in any case, he must first ensure his own safety.
4. Tell your child how to ask adults for help
When encountering a situation of being bullied, in addition to relying on their own strength, children should also know how to ask adults for help, either parents or teachers.
However, sometimes the child may be threatened by some kind, or because of other reasons, he is afraid to speak to the adult, and then he needs the guidance and help of the parents.
For example, parents can simulate scenes with their children, through games or picture book reading, and children to practice, in this process, parents can teach their children how to cope.
At the same time, when the child asks the parents for help, the parents must give the child feedback and help in time, so that they can gain a sense of security, on the contrary, if the parents are not the same thing, the child will lose the trust in the parents, and then no longer ask the parents for help, which may lead to tragedy.
In addition to the above need for parents to teach their children, parents themselves should also pay more attention to their children.
For example, after the child returns home from a day's kindergarten life, parents should communicate more with their children to understand what they have experienced in the kindergarten, if they find abnormalities, they should pay more attention to it, you can understand the situation from the child, and you can also communicate with the kindergarten teacher, so that you can also add weight to the safety of the child and avoid school violence.
