Kids know best on what parents need to parent about. Running out of topic ideas, I went to my daughter’s room asking her for suggestions. Without hesitation she squealed “bullying.” Oh, how she knows this topic so well. My heart goes out to my two girls who had to deal with school bullies. I teach my kids to be good girls but how should they deal with a bully? I didn’t want them to be the bully nor wanted them to be bullied. I engaged in role-playing where I pretended to be a bully and I taught the girls to be gently firm with their bully. Such tips included but were not limited to ignoring the bully and walking away, not showing anger nor hitting back. Along with these, I continued to develop their confidence by honing their skills in music and opening communication lines.
