How do you know whether the child being bullied at school or kindergarten

Do not expect that the child will come to you and say, "I teased and bullied at school, the other kids called me bad words and take my things." Not all children can and want to tell their parents about their problems, and the older the child, the less likely that he would complain to parents on what is happening. If he says anything he does not - should watch him.

Parents should alert any change in a child's behavior. If a child is behaving unusually (for example, became secretive and brooding), possibly a reaction to the persecution of their peers.

Parents should look at the child, if he wants to go to kindergarten or school, avoid large crowds, returning to employment depressed, crying for no apparent reason, and rarely talks about what is happening in the kindergarten (school). If this happens often, probably, he had an awkward relationship with their peers, and parents should intervene.

In addition, parents should pay attention to see if the child's body bruises, abrasions and scratches. Often children who are subjected to humiliation and harassment, harm themselves. Self-harm may also be a sign of a perfect child abuse. If the boy is afraid to go to the bathroom, it is often said that school or kindergarten tease his "blue", laughing at his penis or bullied in some other way. Since the bathroom there is only one way out, is the perfect place to tease other children, arrange a "dark". When the boy is suffering the whole day and did not go to the toilet, it can cause serious gastrointestinal disease. Watch the child if, after returning home from school or kindergarten, he immediately ran to the toilet, it can be a sign of harassment and bullying peers or older boys.

If a child is behaving unusually - in whatever it manifested itself - should first think about whether it does not hurt other children at school or kindergarten. Even if abuse is not accompanied by physical abuse, the child still receives a strong trauma that can affect his whole life, if parents (or other adults) do not intervene in a timely manner.

What if the child complains that he hurt the other children

If the child complains that his other children being bullied, teased or do not want to play with him, let him speak. In no case do not stop it, do not say: "Perhaps you are to blame, can not they stick to you just like that." This mistake made by many parents. Do not assume that the child is his own fault that it hurt, and certainly do not try to instill this idea to him. Bullying rarely cause or logical explanation, and the child does not matter why it hurt - is important to him that this was happening to him.

Listen carefully to the child, not condemning it in advance for a hypothetical bad behavior. Let him talk. Do not try to solve the problem immediately or declare that there is no problem. Ask the child what happened, why it happened so hooked and hurt. Try to learn more about the offender (or offenders) your son or daughter who he was, for a long time if they are familiar with, in some respects they are.

No need to rush to condemn the offender, and exclaim, "Oh, what a bad boy (girl)! "You know only one version of events. Most likely, the child does not expect you to a violent reaction, indignation and fury, he does not expect that you immediately throw yourself to deal with his abuser. He just needs to know that you always listen to him and that his life is important to you. When the child has finished the story, you can take the next step, depending on whether you want your intervention or not.

If parents are too violently react to the story of a child begin to resent or rush to revenge the offender, the child may take a back seat and go into myself. In most cases, a child can cope with the offenders without interference from adults (parents should not intervene directly, but only to help with advice), and if the mother will accompany him relentlessly on the playground or in the garden, it will do little to improve relations with their peers. And more on its frankness you do not have to count.

Children are waiting for approval of their behavior, especially from their parents. The child must know that he is right, he observes that he did (or tried to do) what you want. Hug him, kiss, smile, if he behaves well, perform routine tasks without problems, or playing in the team according to the rules.

How to improve discipline

  • Be consistent in the choice of methods to improve the child's discipline and its methods of punishment (this applies to all who looked after children). The child must learn to understand that there are predictable consequences of his actions.
  • Think ahead. Be prepared for the fact that you are going to do and say to help your child understand the consequences of his actions. Not just probormochite it or tell me the first thing that comes to mind. You are more likely to do harm to the situation, if not thought out plan in advance the discipline.
  • Set for small children daily chore or duty that must be performed every day. This applies to meals, snacks, bathing and bedtime Dreams: how to understand our dreams  Dreams: how to understand our dreams
 .
  • Create a positive atmosphere that will encourage the child to study, but be able to protect him. For example, you can put locks on cabinets and lockers to protect a child who is just learning to walk.
  • Set limits that will fit your child by age and development. Remember that you are in control, so you need to be prepared to sometimes say "no". You should also expect the child's response to a ban, such as crying. This is a normal expression of frustration at a young age, but because such behavior should be ignored. You also need to ignore the tantrums.
  • Do not offer choices in situations where the child will have to agree with the usual rules. For example, instead of saying, "You want to take a bath? "You have to say" It's time to take a bath! "
  • Do not give up when a child whines, cries, or in a fit of anger. If you do, then it will use this behavior to get their way.
  • Learn to ignore the small, harmless and unimportant manifestations of disobedience, such as impatience.
  • Immediately punish and encourage the child. Do not wait for a few minutes - during which time the child's behavior may change, and your reaction is already outdated.
  • Do not repeat the instructions. It is necessary to give the command, and if it is not executed, you can repeat it again, but to say about the consequences of its failure. If the indication is still not satisfied, you need to go to the consequences. Do not repeat the task multiple times.
  • Do not argue with your child about the punishment. Ignore any protest. You can talk about that later.
  • Plan ahead. If you always have trouble in certain situations, such as a shopping trip or a reception, then make a plan of action in advance. The plan should include the expected child's actions and the consequences of his disobedience.
  • Please act according to circumstances, especially with older children and teenagers. Listen and take into account some changes in the rules and forms of punishment proposed by the child.
  • Speak about yourself, not about the child. For example, say, "I'm upset (a) that you have not cleaned in your room," instead of, "You upset me because it does not tidy up the room." Approvals starting the pronoun "you" may sound accusatory, and lead to a quarrel.
  • After a disciplinary action is necessary to explain the rules of behavior - what exactly do you expect from a child, what exactly he behaved properly and how to behave in the next time.
