The AAP advises: “Parents should teach their children to respond to bullying by staying calm; looking the bully in the eye; saying in a firm voice, ‘I don’t like what you are doing,’ or ‘Please don’t talk to me like that’; or simply walking away. In addition, “parents need to recognize the serious nature of bullying and acknowledge their child’s feelings about being bullied.” What’s more, it is “important to teach children to know when and how to ask a trusted adult for help.” For children who are bullies, parents should “emphasize that bullying is never OK.”
