Affected kids will need extra emotional support. Tell your child, “I don’t know how you feel, but it must be awful. Let’s think about ways we can solve this.” Next, get him involved in an alternative social outlet. “This way, your kid can make new friends, and he won’t feel that school is his whole life. New friendships will give him more confidence, and a confident kid is hard to bully,” says Blanco.
Parents will also want to consider the example they set. “This isn’t just a problem in first grade,” says Robin F. Goodman, Ph.D., a local clinical psychologist. “The city is made up of a lot of competitive people. Your child notices how you handle adult ‘bullies,’ like a demanding boss. Your positive example will continue to help him as he grows.”
