What Can I Do If My Child is Being Bullied?

If you think your child is being bullied, don’t panic– try to keep an open mind. Here are some great links to some websites and articles on Bullying. 

You can also encourage your child to:

• Act confident - imagine walking tall and to look people in the eye
  
• Make a point of finding friends - join sports or organized clubs where your child can meet others interested in the same things
  
• Stick with friends - when adults aren't around, a bully probably won't approach you when their victim is in a group
