How to Bully Proof Your Child By Don MacMannis l How to Stop Bullying l Parenting Advice

Bullying takes the fun out of school. As a child psychologist, I’ve seen the impact of bullying and teasing on hundreds of kids. One school contacted me this week about a kid who was drawing pictures of himself jumping off a cliff. He’d been the victim, for years, of being teased about his weight. Kids who have been teased or bullied feel scared, worried and embarrassed. It’s hard for them to talk about it, let alone deal with it.
