Bullying at school
-
How do you handle bullying at school? Not talking anything threatening physically, and these are young kids, but when do you chalk it up to boys being boys or escalating to parents/school?

Great question. I actually think there is a great middle option - which is to see this as “peer conflict” instead of bullying. Peer conflict is very normal AND something important to address with our kids. You can equip them with tools on how to respond when a child is saying or doing throngs that feel mean. It’s a good teachable moment for your child. If things aren’t changing with those tools - talking to a teacher to help them be aware and problem solve with them, can also help it improve most often with young kids.
I can walk u though some tangible ways to do that if u’d like help ; https://calendly.com/susparenting
