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.

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.
