How to Avoid the Bully!
Bullying is an issue that a lot of parents worry about. While you can certainly do your part to handle any issue your child has with bullying, there is only so much you can do for them before they have to learn to handle it on their own. There are a couple of basic strategies your child can adopt to discourage bullying. It’s a good idea for them avoid kids they know to be bullies. By hanging around kids that are friendly, they can better avoid confrontation. They are also less likely to be bullied when they are in groups, because bullies tend to choose victims who are alone.
Another way to avoid a confrontation with a bully is to stay near an adult. They could play near an adult during break times at school or sit near the bus driver on the bus. They could also walk to school with a parent or an older sibling.
The most important element to avoiding bullies is confidence. If your child responds to a bully’s treats with self-assurance, that bully will be less likely to pick on your child. Using strong body language like standing up straight and looking others in the eye makes your child seem more confident.
