Information and Resources on Bullying Parents and guardians know their children the best and can tell when something is different or “off”. https://lnkd.in/eGwFWgpt. Children and youth who are being bullied might: - Not want to go to school or may cry or feel sick on school days - Complain of recurring physical symptoms, such as stomach aches that don’t seem to have a medical cause - Have disrupted sleeping or eating habits - Not want to take part in activities or social events with other students - Act differently than they normally do - Seem distressed after phone, text or social media contact with others - Suddenly begin to lose money or personal items - Come home with torn clothes or broken possessions, and offer explanations that don't make sense - Teens who are bullied may talk about leaving school. What can you do if your child is being bullied? If you suspect that your child is being bullied, there are several things you can do to help them: - Focus on making them feel heard, supported and safe - Ask your child what they would like to see happen - Explain that reporting bullying is not done to cause trouble for another student, but rather to protect all students - Try to stay calm so that you can support your child and plan a course of action with them by making notes about what happened and when - Make an appointment to speak with someone at the school, such as:? Your child's teacher - Another staff member who your child trusts - The principal or vice-principal If your meetings with school staff do not stop the bullying, follow up with the principal to ensure all agreed upon steps have been followed. Speak to the instructor or coach if the bullying is taking place during after-school?activities or sports events. By working with the school to address the bullying, you are leading by example and giving a clear message that bullying is wrong. Regardless of age, you can encourage your child to talk to you about bullying, and tell them to: - Stay calm and walk away from the situation - Tell an adult they trust, for example, a teacher, principal, school bus driver, lunchroom supervisor - Report the incident confidentially using the Report Bullying button that can be found on your school’s website - Talk about it with siblings or with friends so they don't feel alone
