The key takeaways are that bullying involves intentional and repeated aggressive behavior that causes harm or discomfort to another individual. Bullying can be physical, verbal, or more subtle actions like exclusion.

Some signs that a child may be experiencing bullying include unexplainable injuries, lost or destroyed belongings, changes in eating or sleeping habits, declining grades or loss of interest in school, and feelings of helplessness or low self-esteem.

A child experiencing bullying may be hesitant to ask for help because they feel helpless or afraid, want to handle it themselves to feel in control, fear revenge or backlash from the bully, or are embarrassed or afraid of being judged.

ANGER, AGGRESSION, BULLYING
Anger is a normal, usually healthy emotion we all experience. It can give you a
way to express negative feelings, or motivate you to find solutions to problems.

Aggression refers to behavior that is intended to cause harm or pain.


Aggression can be either physical or verbal.
Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior in which someone intentionally and
repeatedly causes another person injury or discomfort. Bullying can take the form
of physical contact, words or more subtle actions. The bullied individual typically
has trouble defending him or herself and does nothing to cause the bullying.

Why dont they ask for help???

Bullying can make a child feel helpless. Kids may want to handle it on their own
to feel in control again. They may fear being seen as weak or a tattletale.
Kids may fear revenge/backlash from the kid who bullied them.
Bullying can be a humiliating experience. Kids may not want adults to know what
is being said about them, whether true or false. They may also fear that adults
will judge them or punish them for being weak.
Kids who are bullied may already feel socially isolated. They may feel like no one
cares or could understand.
Kids may fear being rejected by their peers. Friends can help protect kids from
bullying, and kids can fear losing this support.
WHAT TO DO IF YOUR CHILD IS BEING
BULLIED?
1. Its just a game- ask others

2. Listen to what your child has to say. Dont ask too many questions. When
you react too strongly to what your child is saying, he might stop talking
because hes afraid hes going to upset you.

3. Empower your child. Lift your kid up by spending some time with him or her.
Let them know that they are important to you.

4. Teach your kid assertiveness. Teach your kid how to say no, how to solve
problems, how to react, BUT: without threatening them (ex. Be careful)

5. Coach your child on how to react. Practice with them dealing with diffucult
situation at home.

6. Support them (remind them of their strengths and past successes)

7. Find something your child is really good at doing: Help your child feel
good about himself by finding something he can do well. Choose some activities
hes good at and reinforce it
ADVICES
Avoid the bully and use the buddy system. Make sure you have someone
with you so that you're not alone.
Keep calm and carry on 1) say STOP 2) respond in a jokey sort of way 3) Act
brave, walk away, and ignore the bully. By ignoring the bully, you're showing
that you don't care. Eventually, the bully will probably get bored with trying to
bother you.
Tell an adult.
Find something your child is really good at doing.
Teach mindfulness Peaceful Piggy Meditation
Be an example. Show kindness.
