It is therefore important\nto watch out for any changes in behavior. Loss of appetite, trouble sleeping,\nand aversion to going to school, could all be telltale signs. Strengthening\ncommunication with children and bringing up bullying in conversations helps\nthem open up and speak about it when they experience it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stay_Calm\"><\/span>Stay Calm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nnumber one rule is not to overreact when the child tells you that he or she is\nbeing bullied. It is important to stay calm and to listen to the issues the\nchild is facing and respond to them with sensitivity. Remember that your\noutrage can translate into a greater degree of worry as well as a sense of\nguilt. Now, that is something you want to avoid at any cost! Since the child is\nfeeling anxious and humiliated, a calm reaction will go a long way in soothing\nhis or her frayed nerves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand,&nbsp;do not dismiss\ntheir experience. Telling them to ignore it or that it is a part of growing up,\ndoes not do anything to lift their sagging self-esteem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Empower_the_child\"><\/span>Empower the child<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Young children are particularly afraid\nto stand up to bullies. They may even be worried about reporting the issue to\nthe teacher for fear of being called a tattletale. It is imperative that you\nempower the child to stand up for himself.&nbsp;Above everything, it is\nimportant to tell them that&nbsp;the fault lies with the bully, not with them.\nYou need to help them demystify the bully as the child sees the bully as a\nfigure of authority. It is also a good idea to encourage them to focus on their\nfriendships with other classmates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_List_of_Responses\"><\/span>Create a List of Responses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Arm the child with a list of responses that he can use to tell someone to stop his bullying behavior. These need to be simple and direct without aggravating the bully. Promoting positive body language will also help the child to stand up to the bully. Seemingly simple things such as maintaining a confident stance and looking into the bully\u2019s eye are important while encountering the bully. You also need to teach the child to walk away from the bully as also to reach out to an adult for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Roleplaying some actual scenarios can be a great way to build a\nchild\u2019s confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enhance_the_childs_self-esteem\"><\/span>Enhance the child\u2019s self-esteem<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Above everything, the effort has to be to ensure that the bullying experience does not impact the child\u2019s self-esteem and does not lead to any negative impact on the child\u2019s&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/early-brain-development\" target=\"_blank\">early brain development<\/a>.&nbsp;To this end, help the child choose activities that he or she is good at. Indulging in things he can do well, will help the child feel good about himself. Also use coachable moments to convey to the child that while he cannot control the bully\u2019s behavior, he can definitely control his own responses. Above everything remind the child that he has your support. Needless to say that&nbsp;at any stage if you feel that the issue requires your intervention, do not hesitate to reach out to the teacher or the school authorities and bring the bullying to their attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Encourage_your_child_not_to_be_a_bystander\"><\/span>Encourage your child not to be a bystander<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides supporting the child if he is a victim of bullying, it will also empower the child if he is taught not to be a passive bystander when he happens to encounter a bullying episode. You could teach the child to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Be empathetic to the\nvictim<\/li><li>Question the bullying\nbehavior<\/li><li>Report the bullying\nto an adult<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While we may not be able to protect our children from bullies, we can definitely help them build coping mechanisms to ensure that bullying does not create a devastating impact on their lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As parents and caregivers, we are often tempted to prepare the road for the child as against preparing the child for the road.
