Parenting Tips – Bullying Prevention

One of the most common problems of children at school is bullying. Bullying can lead to many other problems. For instance, your children may want to start skipping school because of fear and anxiety. Bullying can lower your children’s self esteem. Some victims of bullies may feel depressed. Other victims develop aggressive behaviors toward other children. Bullying can range from verbally teasing to physically hitting.

Unfortunately, approximately ten percent of children are the victims of bullies. Children who are quiet, anxious, sensitive, or small are more vulnerable for bulling. Believe it or not, most victims of bullies will not seek help from the teacher or parents, because they may fear the bullies. Therefore, it is important for the parents to learn how to recognize the signs of the problem. For instance, some children constantly complain about being teased at school. Other children may tell you that they are sick all the time to avoid the school.

If you know that your children are bullied at school, what should you do? Although, parents in many movies encourage their children to fight back, it is not the best thing to do. Your children can get hurt, and they can be in trouble for fighting back. You should teach your children to walk away, and they should tell the bully to stop. The bullies need to understand that their behavior will not be tolerated. Tell you children to talk to teacher to help. If it still does not work, you should schedule a meeting with the other parents and teacher.

I have also found that it is important to ensure that you are as focused as you can be, given all your responsibilities as a parent, and time consuming tasks you have to get through. This is where the Success Strategies System comes in.

You can learn the tips and get the information yopu need, in small daily chunks, in as little as around five or six minutes daily.

I also highly recommend the Self Help Database, loaded with fantastic ebooks on a range of subjects for your improvement, development, and interest.

For personal development (always a plus with parenting), may I direct you here.

 

 

Accidents can happen to anyone.

 

However, as anyone with a young child will tell you, they seem to happen many more times to your kids and toddlers, as they simply like to get into everything.

 

However, with a bit of fore knowledge, you may be comforted to know that the majority of incidents with young kids work out OK, if the correct treatment is sought early on.

 

In the Event of an Emergency

 

In the event an emergency occurs, it is important to call for help quickly.

 

This will either be the poisons information centre, the ambulance, or the fire brigade, or all three.

 

Please check this information as it pertains to your country.

 

In America, it is 911, and in Australia, it is 000.

 

Also, always follow the first Aid Rules of DR ABC

 

D              Danger.  Are you able to approach safely?

                Remove the child from the danger, or vice versa.

 

R              Response.  Is the child responding to you

               ( a gentle shake on shoulder).

 

A              Airway       Is the airway clear?

B              Breathing    Is the child breathing?

C              CPR. This needs to be initiated if the child is not

               breathing and there is no heart beat.

 

The above can be formally learnt at a St John Ambulance First Aid Course, Red Cross, or similar in your area.

 

It is an investment in life to know this material which is not difficult, and courses can be completed in as little as a day!

 I have also linked to New Mums Info on Child Safety, as this site provides a comprehensive and detailed explanation of child safety.

 

Prevention

 

 

 

 

All the above can be prevented with some prior preparation. It is best to ensure that all poisons are kept well away, and that any form of medications are out of reach as well.

 

Keep the handles from pots on your kitchen stove out of reach, and always keep an eye on your children.

 

It can be beneficial to keep (legal requirement in some countries) a good pool fence in service around your pool- even if it is a small and shallow one).
