Speak to your child about bullying with these tips:

Discuss with your child what bullying IS and what it is NOT.
Take bullying seriously. Notify school authorities if you feel your child is being bullied. Make sure your kiddo understands that you will not tolerate bullying at home or anywhere else.
Teach kids to treat others with respect and kindness.
Learn about your child's social life. Ask open ended questions (instead of yes/no questions).
Encourage good behavior and set a good example.
