By James Cortopassi
Introduction
Throughout his career in the field of law, James Cortopassi has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to community service and charitable giving. In particular, James Cortopassi supports the efforts of the Be A Buddy Not A Bully Foundation, which tackles the problem of bullying in the United States and beyond. Below are several ways parents can address bullying problems involving their children.
Tips for Bullying Prevention
Parents should make an effort to listen attentively to their children. All too often, parents overreact to news of bullying and forget about the actual emotions experienced by their children. By supporting children and validating their feelings, parents can establish trust and help their children come forward with information about bullying.
It’s also critical that parents work with schools. Schools represent a powerful ally in the fight against bullying. In addition to sharing concerns with school officials, parents can develop a plan to address bullying incidents in the future.
Conclusion
Lastly, parents should support respectful behaviors. By serving as field trip volunteers or activities supervisors, parents can teach children about appropriate behavior and bullying prevention.
