School has restarted for almost everyone now. Keep close tabs on your child(ren) and what they’re up to. I am glad I am close with my kids and they can come to me for everything.
My sick daughter is an easy target for bullying. She tells me everytime someone says something and we discuss how to handle it. The last time some kids went too far and I had to get involved. The conversation went from “so what, are you her sister or her mom?” to “okay, sorry ma’am. It won’t happen again.”
They may be bullied and suffering in private or they may be the bully. Either way, stay alert and stay checking on your kids. Kids can be so vile nowadays and not every kid has the parents behind them to teach them to do better. The CDC reports that children (ages 10-24) su***de rates have increased in the last decade by 62%. Our kids are better than just being another statistic. Shut down the bullies at the source!
