Child psychologist Yekaterina Madenko said that parents should not allow their child to cope with bullying at school on their own. About this she told the newspaper “Izvestia”.
According to Madenko, many parents mistakenly believe that the child should deal with difficulties on their own. However, this has nothing to do with bullying at school. “During bullying, a child experiences moral and physical humiliation, fear that he cannot cope with on his own,” the specialist noted.
The expert urged not to tell the child: “Give me change” or “It’s your own fault” and listed the necessary actions. You should accept and support the child, explain to him how to behave in certain situations. Then, parents need to be sure to collect information from the teachers, the principal, and the school psychologist. “Observe the condition of the child. However, be prepared for the fact that you will have to change schools or go to home schooling, ”said Madenko.
The expert also named the signs that signal that the child is being bullied: withdrawal, poor appetite and sleep, refusal to go to school, poor academic performance.
Earlier, the candidate of psychological sciences Sergey Enikolopov named the reasons for the aggression in adolescents at school. Family conflicts and poverty can contribute to aggression, he said.
