Today we celebrated in a sea of pink. Bullying is an adult problem, and not one that we expect children to have to deal with alone. We always encourage children to tell a trusted adult if they are being bullied. The biggest danger to your child is online bullying.
Please, please, please:
- check their online activity all of the time
- keep the devices in the family spaces where their online activity is visible
- remove all devices at bedtime and remove them from the bedroom
- stick to the recommended ages for access to social media and check, check, check.
- Report anything suspicious or destructive to the police
- spend time with your children and make sure that what you think about them matters more than any of their friends.
- If necessary protect them from too much time with their friends and check on what they are doing and who they are with
- protect them from dangerous media images that portray gender stereotypes and unreal body images
Love your kids. You are their best protection against bullying.
