Bullying occurs in schools

What should we do

What should I do if my child is bullied at school?

1. Stay calm.

2. Call for help, call for help from passers-by, and use abnormal actions to attract the attention of people around you.

3. Personal safety always comes first. Try to push the other person off with cautionary language, or get yourself out of trouble with strategic conversations and the use of circumstances. But don't provoke the other person.

4. Do not take the initiative to have conflicts with classmates at school, and find teachers to solve them in time if they occur.

5. No matter what kind of intimidation you encounter, tell your parents not to suffer physical and psychological trauma yourself.

2

What should parents do if their children are bullied?

1. Teach children self-esteem, self-love and self-protection.

Some parents usually ask their children to be obedient and suppress their children's self-esteem, which can easily lead to their children becoming the target of bullying at school.

2. Encourage your child to build beneficial relationships.

Children who are withdrawn, misfits, and have poor interpersonal skills are more likely to be bullied at school. Parents should cultivate their children's ability to build kind and supportive interpersonal relationships with their peers from an early age, which can have a buffering effect on the impact of school bullying.

3. Calm down and most importantly children.

When your child tells about bullying, stay calm, listen and respond well to let your child know that the situation is completely manageable. No matter what happens, his parents will be on his side and support him.

4. Empathize, don't ask too much detail first.

Don't try to comfort your child not to worry about his classmates, as this may lead him into thinking that the bullying is due to his own problems, which may lead him to deeper pain and self-blame. Show empathy to your child and send a signal that what he is describing is not the "norm" of growing up and that you are very sad about how he was treated.

5. Acceptance, parents will never abandon you.

Children are prone to extreme emotions after being bullied, such as being unusually resistant to interpersonal relationships, unwilling to go to school, etc., at this time, parents should be tolerant, because the child may be in a state of stress, do not hurt him twice.

6. Calm the child's emotions first.

The sooner the emotions are dealt with, the less harm and future impact will be on the child, which is more important than solving the problem itself.

7. Thank you, you are willing to tell things and are very brave.

Tell your child that he is grateful that he has the courage to tell you about it, and explain to him that parents will only have a chance to help him if he is willing to talk about it. One of the more effective ways to put it is: I know you need a lot of courage to tell me this, and despite all this difficulty, you are willing to tell me and thank you for your trust.
