It could be a clue. So you might also notice their belongings are damaged after school or things like lunch money goes missing. And sometimes children can't quite express that they're going through what they're going through with words. So it comes out physically. Kids might actually complain about it. And this is not once, but it's frequent. So you see children start having frequent headaches, stomach aches, and often these physical complaints are as a result of. Grace, even if they're not aware of it themselves. You might also see changes in their sleep and their eating habits. Or you might notice that they're losing friends or actually struggling with their friendships. For all the kids, there's online bullying that you gotta look out for, cyber bullying and it's an issue. If your team is spending time on the Internet and suddenly seems down or upset after being online, it can actually be a sign.

This is a helpful to encourage them to identify a trusted adult or friend at school and they can talk to if things get difficult. As a parent, it's also important to model good behavior, showing your child how to be kind and how to be supportive of others. Sometimes your child might not be the one being bullied, but they could be in a position to help a classmate who is. So teaching them to be confident, compassionate can make a big difference. So if your child is being. Targeted One of the best things that you can advise them to do is to stay calm. Avoid letting the bully see their emotions and then they've got to walk away.

An open relationship with your child and LOTS of mini conversations will help you guide them in setting boundaries and advocating for themselves. These conversations may cue you in when a relationship is going south. I always got a better pulse on ALOT of things when driving my kids and their friends around. Our recent webinar with Phyllis L. Fagell, LCPC and her resources give you some tips to deal with all things "Middle School." This is when teen relationships can get tricky fast.

Understanding the difference between teasing and bullying can help us guide our kids through tricky social situations. Teasing can be harmless, but when it crosses the line into bullying, it can cause lasting harm. Let’s help our kids recognize these signs and empower them to set boundaries, show empathy, and seek support when needed. #parenting #bullying
