Online Bullying

Rose Neal —

Bullying Online is a problem many children and parents have to deal with, and it is very damaging.

Here is some advice from the experts about how you can talk to your child about this. Having difficult conversations isn’t easy for anyone, but there are a couple of tips that can help keep things on track:

Use questions and comments like:

· Tell me your version of what happened between you and the other child?

· What are some of the things you’d like me to know about that lead to this issue?

· Was anyone else involved in this that I need to know about?

· What is upsetting you most about this situation?

· What are some things we can do together that will help things improve?

· What is the best outcome for you in this situation?

· How did that make you feel?

· What would you do differently next time?
