• Empathize with your child. Tell him or her that bullying is wrong, that it is not his or her fault, and that you are glad he or she had the courage to tell you about it.
• If you disagree with how your child handled the bullying situation, don’t criticize him or her. It is often very difficult for children to know how best to respond.
• Do not encourage physical retaliation.

Tips for Parents:What to Do If Your Child
Witnesses Bullying
• Teach your child how to get help without getting hurt.
• Encourage your child to verbally intervene if it is safe to do so.
• Tell your child not to cheer on, laugh or even quietly watch bullying. This only encourages a child who bullies – who wants to be the center of attention.

• Encourage your child to tell a trusted adult about the bullying. It is not tattling – it is an act of courage and safety.
• Help your child support others who tend to be bullied.
• Teach your child to include these children in activities.
• Praise and reward “quiet acts of courage.”
• Work with your child to practice ways he or she can help stop bullying.
