Bullyproof

I've put my teacher hat on for this vlog.  Britmums are talking about bullying.

I appreciate this could be misinterpreted, particularly by those experiencing bullying, therefore it comes with a heavy disclaimer. Bullying is an emotional and complex topic, and every situation is different.  I am by no means suggesting that these are the sole reasons why children are bullied.

There are always incidents of bullying that have no logic, that become too engrained for tactics such as these to bear any fruit. Children can be incredibly cruel to each other for no particular reason.

These are observations, based on my classroom practice and the research studies of others, as to how children learn to 'bullyproof' themselves, and others.



I would be interested to know what you think.  Have you had to bullyproof your child, or yourself?  What worked and what didn't?

Look out for more Britmums vlogs on this topic, in the Education section of the Videos area.  I'm really interested to hear what parents have to say.

Useful contacts and resources on bullying.
