One of the most difficult things that a child can experience is getting bullied by classmates in school or their playmates. We can never really ensure that there would be no bullies around the kids as they grow up, but what you can do instead as a parent is to make sure that you can be there to help them get out of the rut or deal with bullying to prevent it from having a drastic impact in their lives. You should also understand that in bullying, it's not just your child who turn out to be the victim. Even bullies themselves are victims of their own self-perpetuated attitude problem. 1. Know what the problem is - Kids who get bullied experience such a bad childhood thing because there's something wrong. But keep in mind that what's wrong here need not be viewed negatively, it means that your kid must have something different from what's normal that causes them to stand out awkwardly and become an easy target for bullies. Aside from this, there might have been something that notably happened between your kid and his or her bully which instigated the event in the first place. This is also the time when you should help your kids open up to you. Some kids who get bullied do not outright admit what's being done to them because they get ashamed of the things that have been done to them. 2. Let your child know that they are being bullied - Kids might not easily understand what's happening to them. Although it makes them feel uncomfortable and sad, they might view bullying as an acceptable thing to do if you have something against other people. You should take the time to explain that your kid is being bullied and how that feels must never be done to other people as well. This is one of the most critical things that can be caused by bullying--kids repeating what has been to them in another vicious cycle towards other people. 3. Build the confidence of your child - One of the worst effects of bullying is that the kids who get victimized by it end up developing very low self-esteem. At worse, they may start to build a negative self-image and in the process hamper their personal growth and potential. You can help counter these negative personality effects by telling your kid just how special they are and what unique talents they have which they ought to share and improve on. You would need to spend more time with your kids too just to check how the bullying has affected their personality thus far. It might be good to enroll them in classes which help support their hobbies and interests. When the bullying happens at school, you should also involve your kid's teacher as much as possible. After all, it's the teachers who should be the second parents of the kids in school. It would also be a good idea to identify your kid's bully and get the chance to talk to that kid's parents too.
