By Vicki Hill Discovering that your child is being bullied is extremely distressing for a parent. It is natural to feel a range of emotions from anger to dismay. Vicki Hill child behaviour expert and owner of www.rewardboard.co.uk , a store selling motivational and reward products for children, suggests signs to look out for and positive ways to beat the bully. Parents often ask how they will know if their child is being bullied. Many children feel embarrassed about the situation that they are in and therefore make attempts to cover up the bullying. You may begin to notice that your child’s personality changes, they may become withdrawn or even aggressive. Their school work may be affected and they may even resort to playing truant from school to avoid the bullies. There may be physical signs such as cuts, bruises or torn clothing . If the bullying is for materialistic gain you could find that your child suddenly ‘loses’ money or possessions on a regular basis. They may also no longer continue with their usual friendship groups and may seem reluctant to leave the home. If your child is being bullied you will need to keep calm and to offer them a nurturing environment. No matter how tempting it is to approach the bully yourself or to storm into the school you must resist. You need to keep a very clear mind and to make an appointment with the school to discuss the issue in a calm and controlled way. It could be that the teachers are unaware of the bullying. Ask the school about their anti-bullying policy and discuss with the staff how you can work together to ensure your child’s safety. Keep a diary of the events with times and dates so that you can provide the school with as much detail as possible. Try to work closely with the school to resolve the issue. If this does not help, you could then write to the Chair of Governors, and then to the local education authority (LEA) detailing the problem. If it still remains unresolved, the Department for Education and Skills can investigate the allegations with the school. You could also ring the helpline at Parentline Plus on 0808 800 2222 for general information             | |
