    Helping bullied kid

    Though my 7 yr old never said anything to me, I think that he is being bullied. He keeps to himself and mention of his friends upsets him. How can I help him if he is bullied?

    Are you sure that your son is bullied? If you suspect that your child is being bullied at school, then you need to trust your instincts. Be patient and try to have a talk with your son. Never force your son into something. Be sure that your child knows that this situation will not get better on it's own, and that appropriate adult intervention is needed.

    If you are sure of the fact then contact the school. Ask what the school's policy is on keeping kids safe once they have reported a bullying incident, then only report the incident in detail. set up a meeting to problem solve your way through this situation with your child and members of the school faculty, including the teacher and the counselor.

    This is a serious matter and needs to be dealt with patience. The best way is to speak to your son and then report in the school. If school is keen to take steps in curbing bullying, then your matter will be resolved otherwise you may have to have some meetings with teachers and parents of the bully to find a solution.

    Today bullying is an important issue and children are bullied by peers and friends. It is obvious that no parent likes when their child is being bullied and also don’t want their child to be a bully. There are several cases where children are involved in bullying as the victim, witness or the perpetrator. Every child has to face it once in their life during their childhood in school, college and even office. If you feel your child is being bullied you can help him, talk to him clearly be patient and supportive as during this time all they need is love and support from their parents.

    It is important to talk to your child and make her comfortable and make her realise that the situation has to be handled bravely and it will not get better on its own and it is important to stop what is happening with her. You should try to listen whatever your child tries to say to you without getting angry even if he is at fault, getting angry can make situation worse. Sit down and quietly listen to him and assure him that he is safe and secure. Handling the situation smartly is more effective than going all over the place.

    Hi, you can tell your child to explain all the details, what happens, who does it, whether in school or classes. Ask all the details and also ask him what he feels what should be done to stop this, ask for his opinion rather than just taking over and making some decision. If he says it is happening in school then you can give a visit to the school and have a talk to the teacher and explain all the details whatever is happening. They will surely help you and your child and make sure that this thing is not repeated again.

    Firstly it is important to know if your child is getting bullied and he is not at fault. Reassure that your child is not at fault and also reassure him that it is not his mistake and he has not brought this upon himself on his own. Encourage your child and let him know that he is not weak and make him feel confident about himself. Tell your child to not bother about what other people say and it is important to believe in yourself. Help them change their body language and speaking abilities which might portray them stronger.

    Hello, if your child is being bullied in school or is a victim of bully then there should be measures taken to avoid it. Bullying causes lack of confidence in children and they tend to get scared of situations. Talk to him about how our voices, body posture, body language, expressions send different messages to the other people. Patience is the key to dealing with such serious conditions. Reporting in the school is important as they also should be aware of what is happening in their school and their might be many more children who might be bullied.

    It is very important for the children to understand that bullying cannot be dominated in life and they have to develop skills and confidence to face it and ignore it. Being scared and allow others to bully is not good. Help them develop new skills in different areas and encourage them to join extra-curricular activities, sports or self-defence or martial arts course. This might help build confidence in them and also increase their self-esteem. They will be able to socialise more and also make more new friends and look different problems in different perspectives. Try to make them busy with things they like.

    Do not pressurize your child for anything. Let him take his own time to handle and sort out things, though it might take time but he or she will definitely move ahead strong and forget what has happened in past. Gradually as they grow up, these small things will be forgotten and there is no need to worry. Once children grow up they build in confidence and forget about past experiences. It is important to make them realise being a victim of bully is not accepted and seeing someone being bullied is also not accepted.

    Hi, when you get to know that your child is being bullied don’t just head off at the school and take unnecessary actions which are not required. It is important to handle the situation smartly and calmly. The children who bully other children need to be trained in active listening or meditation, yoga can help him overcome the bully nature. Allow the school to deal with the problem and stay in touch with them. Work together with the school authorities so that you can know what exactly is happening.
