When sending a child to school, parents may begin to worry that the child will be bullied by classmates.
Fortunately, in many cases such fears turn out to be unfounded.
But some schoolchildren really won't be able to find a common language with their peers.
Let's imagine a situation: your child admitted to you that he is being bullied at school.
Never tell your child that the problem is in him! This is a gross mistake!
It is better to support your son/daughter by saying the following phrases.
"You did the right thing by not hiding this from us."
First, parents should praise and thank the child for recognition.
Let the baby understand that mom and dad are ready to accept him even when he is weak.
And let the boy/girl know: there is no need to hide your problems from your parents, it is better to tell them everything.
"It's not your fault what happened"
Next, the student must be convinced that he is not to blame for becoming the object of bullying.
Let the child know: it is his classmates who are mistaken when they try to assert themselves over him.
Some parents try to tell their child that the problem is in their “wrong” appearance or “wrong” behavior. Don’t repeat this mistake! This will only upset your son/daughter even more.
"We will help you. But to do this, we need to understand the situation and decide how to act."
Let your child know that you are ready to help him. In this case, the child will feel better psychologically.
At the same time, explain to your child that there will be no immediate solution to the problem.
