What if my child is the one doing the bullying?

• Talk with them to find out why they are bullying.
• Calmly make it clear that bullying is unacceptable.
• Explain why bullying is so hurtful.
• Get them to think how they would feel if they were being bullied.
• You could talk with your child's teacher — they may help with your child's behaviour at school.
• Help your child get involved in activities such as sport and music to help them learn how to interact better with others.
• You may consider an anti-bullying or anger management programme is helpful.
