Parent Tips on Bullying
If you suspect your child is being bullied, it is important to respond in a positive and accepting manner. Let your child know it is not his or her fault, and that they did the right thing by telling you. Here are some suggestions:

Ask your child what he/she thinks should be done. What has been tried?  Did it work?

Seek help from your child's teacher or the school guidance counselor.

Don't encourage your child to fight back. Instead, suggest that he/she try walking away to avoid the bully, or that they seek help from a  teacher, coach, or other adult.

Help your child practice what to say to the bully so they can be prepared.

Help your child practice being assertive. The simple act of insisting that the bully leave him alone may have a surprising effect. Explain to your child that the bully's goal is to try to
get a response.

Encourage your child to be with friends as often as possible. Bullies are less likely to pick on a child in a group.
