61. How do we help our kids manage bullying‪?‬ Parents of the Year

 In this week's podcast, Andrew and Caroline talk about the hard topic of bullying. 

While they can share strategies on how to build your child's confidence, resources, and skills (which they do), Caroline also stresses the need to focus on the larger systems to better support students in the first place. 

Bullying is a serious issue that affects many children, and as a parent, it's important to know your role when it comes to bullying. While common, bullying is NOT a normal part of development. Bullying can cause emotional distress, affect academic performance, and even lead to physical harm. These negative effects are immediate and can last your child's lifetime, putting them at risk for other social, emotional, and physical problems throughout their life. 
 Bullying is unacceptable and needs to be stopped immediately. 
While the responsibility is on adults to end bullying, Caroline offers additional resources in her blog on developing important skills, encouraging positive relationships, and working with your child's school to create a safe and supportive environment.   https://korupsychology.ca/raising-resilient-children-help-your-child-manage-bullying/
