What to Do If You Discover Your Child Is Being Bullied

2/4/2016

0 Comments

 
Q) Dear Christine,
While cleaning my son’s room, I accidentally saw on his Facebook page threatening remarks from his friends. I fear he’s being bullied. What should I do?
A) While I’m not encouraging you to push the “panic button” I’m also not suggesting you remain silent. Bullying should never be taken lightly. Open and honest communication with your son is key. ...
While you must be prepared for his “Why are you snooping in my business?!” defense, you must also remember that while it may not appear so, your son is listening to you. Experts agree you should start the conversation. Don’t wait for him. If he opens up, let him speak! Don’t interrupt or interrogate. Listen! If he doesn’t open up, look for signs such as depression, anxiety, absenteeism or other changes in his behaviors. Additionally, talk to his teachers, administrators and counselor. With all the recent focus on bullying, there’s a good chance they’ll work with you to ensure your son’s emotional and physical safety. Lastly, empower him. Teach him to stand up against or walk away from bullying.
