Let your child know you are there for them.
- listen without interrupting
- avoid jumping straight into solutions
- acknowledge how they are feeling
When a child feels heard, it can ease some of the emotional weight they are carrying.
🌿 Create a Safe and Supportive Home
A warm, nurturing environment helps your child feel safe enough to process what they are experiencing.
Help them feel:
- seen
- heard
- understood
- accepted for who they are
🌿 Help Build Confidence and Awareness
You can support your child by:
- helping them recognise what bullying looks like
- talking through safe ways to respond
- encouraging healthy friendships
- supporting their strengths and interests
A strong sense of self can reduce the impact of negative peer experiences.
🌿 Work with the School
If bullying is happening at school, it’s important to let the school know.
You are your child’s advocate.
Working together can help create a safer environment for your child.
🌿 A Gentle Next Step
If your child is continuing to struggle, additional support can help.
Counselling and parent coaching can provide a safe space to explore what your child is experiencing and how best to support them.
You don’t have to navigate this alone.
