Health...  Your Children's Health & Bullying   

Children who are bullied are under incredible stress and therefore more likely to acquire infections and experience damage to their bodies.  As well, the mental stress usually decreases their ability to succeed at school - both socially an academically.

Some tips to decrease bullying in your child's life:

1. Teach your children to tell you ASAP when they have been bullied.

2. Teach your child to be more assertive - both physically and verbally.

3. Teach your children to not be bystanders because bullies rarely work without an approving audience, be they verbally encouraging to the bully or silent.

4. Develop effective learning consequences for the bully.
