Apparently 1 in 6 Aussie kids are being bullied and with all the publicity recently about the increase of bullying in our schools, it got us thinking about how as parents (and Coaches) we would cope if our children came home and said they were being bullied. All of a sudden our minds were flooded with questions such as – Why is it happening? What makes a Bully? Why is it on the increase? What can we do as parents to support our children? What can we do as Coaches to educate other parents?
We are going to be talking about all of these issues in the next few weeks and hopefully we can help you to develop some tools and strategies to address these issues. A big question that does come up for us is this – If our children were more Resilient, had better coping skills and were taught how to bounce back from adversity – do you think we would be having such high reported incidents of bullying? Would love to hear your thoughts on this?
Stay tuned because we are currently in the process of putting together an e-book on bullying for parents which will be available on our website .
Create for yourself a magical and special day.
