Now that your children are back in school full-swing, it’s the perfect time to discuss bullying. Chances are that sometime during your child’s school years they will either be bullied or (gasp!) be a bully. Teaching your children what bullying is, the qualities inherent in a bully, why they could become a victim and how to protect themselves is essential. Unfortunately, my son experienced bullying first hand last year. It was a very traumatic event — not only for him, but my husband and myself as well. So, we know firsthand how much of an impact bullying can have on a child. This year, he entered middle school, and we really wanted to ensure that he understood bullying. We answered all of the questions that he had in an effort to help him feel more comfortable standing up for himself and others. Jump over to Inhabitots to discover the questions my son asked, and to gain valuable insight into how to discuss bullying with your own children.
