Helping Your Child Deal with Bullies
SOURCE: KidsHealth.org (edited)
A bully can turn something like going to the bus stop or recess into a nightmare for kids. If your child is being bullied, you want to act to help stop it, if possible. And even if bullying isn't an issue right in your house right now, it's important to discuss it so your kids will be prepared if it does happen.
When is it Bullying?
Most kids get teased by a sibling or a friend at some point. And it's not usually harmful when done in a playful, friendly, and mutual way, and both kids find it funny. But when teasing becomes hurtful, unkind, and constant, it crosses the line into bullying and needs to stop.
Bullying is intentional tormenting in physical, verbal, or psychological ways. It can range from hitting, shoving, name-calling, threats, and mocking to extorting money and possessions. Some kids bully by shunning others and spreading rumors about them. Others use social media or electronic messaging to taunt others or hurt their feelings – this is known as cyberbullying.
Kids bully for a mix of reasons. Sometimes they pick on kids because they need a victim – someone who seems emotionally or physically weaker, or just acts or appears different in some way. Bullies do this to feel more important, popular, or in control. Although some bullies are bigger or stronger than their victims, that's not always the case.
What Are the Signs of Bullying?
Unless your child tells you about bullying – or has visible bruises or injuries – it can be hard to know if it's happening. But there are some warning signs. Parents might notice kids: • acting differently or seeming anxious • not eating, not sleeping well, or not doing the things they usually enjoy • seem moodier or more easily upset than usual • avoiding certain situations (like taking the bus to school)
If you suspect bullying but your child is reluctant to open up, find ways to bring up the issue. For instance, you might see a situation on a TV show and ask, "What do you think of this?" or "What do

you think that person should have done?" This might lead to questions like: "Have you ever seen this happen?" or "Have you ever experienced this?"
Let your kids know that if they're being bullied or harassed – or see it happening to someone else – it's important to talk to someone about it, whether it's you, another adult (a teacher, school counselor, or family friend), or a sibling.
What Can Parents Do?
If your child tells you about being bullied, listen calmly and offer comfort and support. Kids are often reluctant to tell adults about bullying because they feel embarrassed and ashamed.
Sometimes kids feel like it's their own fault, that if they looked or acted differently it wouldn't be happening. Sometimes they're scared that if the bully finds out that they told, it will get worse. Others are worried that their parents won't believe them or will urge them to fight back when they're scared to.
Praise your child for doing the right thing by talking to you about it. Remind your child that they're not alone – a lot of people get bullied at some point. Explain that it's the bully who is behaving badly – not your child. Reassure your child that you will figure out what to do about it together.

Helping with Homework
SOURCE: publicschoolreview.com (edited)
One of the biggest ways parents can help their children succeed in school is through the nightly homework. While most children are not wild about the idea of cracking open the books at home, homework is an essential task that teaches children to work independently and gives parents a glimpse of what the child is learning. To ensure the time spent on homework is successful, consider the following tips.
