5 Ways to Bully-Proof Your Kid

Did you know that 25% of public schools report that bullying among

kids happens on a daily or weekly basis? And that 1 in 5 high school stu-

dents report being bullied in the past year?

The good news is that because bullying has made national headlines,

schools and communities (and even celebrities) are taking a strong stand

against bullying.

You can do your part at home, too. Here are 5 smart strategies to keep

kids from becoming targets — and stop bullying that has already started:

1. Talk about it. Talk about bullying with your kids and have other family

members share their experiences. If one of your kids opens up about

being bullied, praise him or her for being brave enough to discuss it and

offer unconditional support. Consult with the school to learn its policies

and find out how staff and teachers can address the situation.

2. Remove the bait. If it's lunch money or gadgets that the school bully is

after, you can help neutralize the situation by encouraging your child to

pack a lunch or go to school gadget-free.

3. Buddy up for safety. Two or more friends standing at their lockers are

less likely to be picked on than a child who is all alone. Remind your

child to use the buddy system when on the school bus, in the bathroom,

or wherever bullies may lurk.

4. Keep calm and carry on. If a bully strikes, a kid's best defense may be

to remain calm, ignore hurtful remarks, tell the bully to stop, and simp-

ly walk away. Bullies thrive on hurting others. A child who isn't easily

ruffled has a better chance of staying off a bully's radar.

5. Don't try to fight the battle yourself. Sometimes talking to a bully's par-

ents can be constructive, but it's generally best to do so in a setting

where a school official, such as a counselor, can mediate.

Families that play together stay together.

FAMILY FUN IN THE KITCHEN

Nutter Butter-Fly: Slice apple slices, spread nutter butter, and make little apple

“sandwiches”. Make several of these. Grab a couple carrots as well. Put a carrot in

the middle of the plate, and arrange the apple “sandwiches” in the shape of wings to

form a butterfly. Great finger food! - See more at: http://chew.com/fun-spring-time-
