The Anti-Bullying Alliance defines bullying as “the repetitive, intentional hurting of one person or group by another person or group, where the relationship involves an imbalance of power. It can happen face to face or online.”
It can be difficult to work out whether your child is a victim of bullying, but there may be some tell-tale signs. Whilst it’s normal to have good and bad days at school, you may notice certain changes in your child’s behaviour and mood which could be cause for concern. Typical bullying signs include things like - uncharacteristic outbursts of anger or tears, or your child constantly telling you that they want to stay at home, or for them to start making excuses like saying they feel sick on school days - despite being fine and full of energy at the weekends.
When it seems like they will say or do anything to avoid school, it’s important to check in with them. Noticing patterns of withdrawal, acting out or avoidance behaviours may be their way of expressing stress and anxiety to you.
The first step as a parent is to stay calm. It's natural to feel anger or frustration at the thought that your child is suffering. However, your child needs to feel safe and to know that it's ok to share difficult feelings. If your child is being bullied at school, it can have a negative impact on their mental health, and that’s why it's so important to create a safe space at home where they feel supported and loved and know that they did the right thing to speak up and tell you, so that you can help them.
So, ask your child questions to get a sense of their world at school. Try to find out if they have any friends at school, or who they spend time with at break time or lunch time. If they don’t have friends or spend time alone, they may be having a tough time with the other kids.
