Is Your Kid Bullied?

There has always been bullying at school.

And it continues today.

From what I surmise, bullying has become more vicious.

There are also incidences of kids committing suicide as a result of excessive bullying.

This issue of bullying is a serious one.

Some kids can stand up to it better than others.

One of the unfortunate aspects of bullying is that the one being bullied will often not admit it to his or her parents.

I certainly don’t have all the answers, but I think it is imperative that you find out if your child is being bullied.

Perhaps, periodic chats with teachers can help keep you informed.

Find time to listen to your child. After school and bedtime seem to be times when private and quiet conversations are possible. Listening cannot happen when it is competing with the sound of games or TV. Privacy is essential.

Be willing to listen often. Once is not enough. It must become a regular time in your and your child’s life.

If not today, when?
