It is estimated that nearly 77% of students suffer the negative consequences of bullying each year. Challenges of low self esteem, poor concentration in school, are absenteeism are all statistically much higher in children that are bullied.

Long term, the results get even more dismal.

Children that are bullied in grade school have been shown, later in life, long after the bullying is over, to be at higher risk for depression and poorer self esteem when compared with other adults that were not bullied.

Here are ACTIONABLE STRATEGIES that will make YOU the hero in your child's life!

Dear Parent and Friend,

Being a parent today requires a higher intellectual involvement than in the past. There are so many more ways for your child to be put at risk. Society is very different than it was when you grew up. Compare the way children communicate today compared to 20 – 30 years ago. Contrast shows like the Brady Bunch to the popular shows targeted to the same audience today. The language, the expectations of children and the way they interact with each other and other adults is completely different.

Compare and contrast sports stars of today with sport stars of the past. While I am a huge sports fan, 20% of the athletes setting a bad example are getting 80% of the news headlines and media attention.

Couple this with the fact that values, and social etiquette in many homes is severely lacking and at no greater time in the history of the world do children have more free access to poor examples via the 200 channels of cable TV and the multitude of choices they have via the internet.

As parents, I believe our highest responsibilities include keeping our children safe and providing them with the correct information so that they can lead wonderfully happy healthy and successful lives.

This can not be delegated to the schools or can’t be left to chance where you simply hope that your child isn’t targeted. Parents must accept that it is their responsibility to teach their children how to successfully deal with conflict when it happens. Raising healthy children that can successfully handle the inevitable challenges that will arise is a must so that they are able to realize their true potential. The great thing is that it doesn’t require a huge investment of time or money, provided that strategies you employ work.

I have seen first hand the heart break and feeling of helplessness a parent feels when their precious child is being tormented by a bully at school. They feel like they are unable to help them with the situation but they see their child suffering. What does a parent do?

Now there is an answer and a strategic approach that will allow a parent to know for certain that they are doing the right things to help their child deal with bullying in a positive way.

The parents guide to bullying has been specifically designed to answer the most important questions on the minds of parents, questions such as;

• How do I know exactly what is happening at school? (Page 11)
   
• What are the correct questions I can ask my child to make sure I understand the situation? (Page 12)
   
• Is my child doing anything to attract the bully to him? (Page 13)
   
• What are the most important skills I can teach my child so they can handle things non-violently? (Page 15)
   
• How do I effectively bring this to the teachers attention without being perceived as an over protective parent (Page 21)
   
• How to effectively talk to a bullies parents in a way that will get them to listen (Page 23)
   
• The most powerful question to gain agreement with your spouse on how your child should handle a bullying situation. (Page 27 )
   
• How to view bullying as an empowering opportunity for your child’s growth. (Page 4)
