Whether your child is the bully or the victim, you may need professional help. Talk to your child’s educators, the school counselor and your family physician. If necessary, get a referral to a mental health professional.
If your child’s school doesn’t have an antiviolence program in place, talk to other parents, the parent teacher association and the school board to have one put in place. Be certain to insist that your child’s school adapt a zero tolerance level for bullying, violence and other antisocial behavior. You, and only you, can make a difference in your child’s life. By doing so, you may change the lives of other children as well. Take action now!
