Bullying is a scourge that affects many children. To deal with it, an expert has revealed a foolproof tip: making your child “unannoying”.
Teasing, hitting, insults… Bullying leaves deep marks in your child’s life and impacts their self-confidence. Thus, parents, often helpless, look for solutions to help them, but, faced with the complexity of the situation, it is not uncommon to ask for help. This is why an expert is now proposing a simple and extremely effective method, since she confided that her own son was no longer a victim of bullying at school.
According to Laurie Gozlan, a parenting expert with over 110,000 followers on Instagram, the secret lies in convincing your child that they have superpowers. By transforming your little one into a superhero, they will no longer be able to be bullied by their classmates. Indeed, every child has extraordinary abilities to defend themselves and overcome bullying, so all you have to do is make them aware of them and use them wisely.
The first superpower is that of confidence. Having someone to confide in is essential. This can be a parent, a teacher or a friend. The important thing is that the child knows that he is not alone. Talking about what he is going through allows him to release the weight of suffering and find solutions together. The second superpower is that of action. Encourage the child not to remain passive in the face of bullying. He can learn to say no, to defend himself verbally and to seek help.
The third superpower is posture. Maintaining a straight posture, looking the bully in the eye, and speaking in a firm voice. These simple actions can deter the bully and build the child’s self-confidence. The fourth superpower is appropriate response. Responding to aggression with calm, mind, and heart. Additionally, using humor or intelligence to defuse conflict situations can be good options.
The fifth superpower is that of opinion. It is important to teach children to impose their opinion, to say what they think and feel. In other words, not to be afraid to oppose when necessary. Finally, the sixth superpower is that of defending others. Teaching children to defend the weakest, to intervene when they witness harassment, is essential. This strengthens their sense of justice and solidarity.
In short, by instilling these 6 unsuspected resources in your child, you will help him use them in the best possible way, thus helping him overcome bullying at school. A method to share!
