Give Kids Words To Use
Talking through specific scripts is a great way to empower your child to stand up for herself. For example, you can teach her to say something simple like, "I don't like that," or "Leave me alone," when someone is treating her unkindly. Using a strong voice is also key and should be practiced. Most bullies are looking for signs of weakness.
It may seem simple, but many kids need helping knowing how to tell someone to stop and most bullies don't like being confronted.
