about it. Sometimes, they will feel embarrassed so it is important to
keep children talking. It may be helpful to have other family members
talk about the times they were bullied too. Be sure you do not get
upset or this may keep your children from talking.

It is more difficult for a
bully to bother children when they are with others so tell children to
stay by friends. Also, they should stay nearby adults to they can call
on adults if the bullying continues

walk away.
Don’t talk to the bully’s parents
Let school staff know what is happening and have them deal with the parents of the bully.
