Tattling is when you report something just to get someone in trouble. Telling is when you report that you or someone else is in danger. Suggest closer supervision in hallways, bathrooms, lunchrooms, under stairways, and on the playground. Your kids have the right to feel safe at school, so find out what your school's policies on bullies are. Standing up straight and looking the bullying child right in the eyes can go a long way in curbing bullying behaviors.
Bullies are less likely to intimidate children who appear confident.
Talk with them about their school day. Help your children understand that students who are bullied are usually not to blame. Discuss ways that your child could react to a particular situation, and let the child role play or practice responses. Help your child feel empowered to handle the situation in a positive way. It is important that your child feel safe at school.
