Just being a mother, how would/ have you handled a bully for your child?

I’d do all of these if I had to. Not sure which one I’d do first. Guess it depends on the situation

A kid once put a video on YouTube regarding my son. I contacted the parents via fb and also the school to make them aware. Thankfully it was handled.
My daughter also had a friend send her a video saying she hated her. The parents dealt with it without us having to do anything. It’s tricky sometimes knowing what is bullying and what is normal friends falling out. I’ve always said if something continues then I will approach the teacher.

My five year old has had some friendship issues with a particular girl in her class. Name calling, pushing her over a few times, telling her she dresses like a baby and has ugly hair.. etc. my daughter has really taken it to heart.

It’s difficult as there is only five girls including my daughter and 15 all together in the class so it’s very small.

I have spoken once to her teacher and then I emailed and asked for a meeting with teacher and the headteacher. I’ve also spoken to her new teacher (starts again this week) to make sure she is aware and on it with what’s happening.

I’ve also tried to speak to my daughter a lot about how it says more about her than it does my daughter but it’s been a tricky few months! Summer holiday has been a breath of fresh air.

If it continues into the new school year I’ll be back pestering the school and I will speak to the parents this time.

Parents and school if that doesn’t work my kid will be told to whoop their ass next time. I’d never approach a child

Where is the option on here to coach you kid on how to stand up for him or herself? I feel like the situation would have to be pretty bad before I’d jump to contacting the school or the other kid’s parents. I’d put a lot more effort into coaching my kid on sticking up for herself and not letting it get to her in the first place.

We took it up to the teacher, and the principal. Apparently that bully ended up getting expelled coz my daughter wasn’t the only one she was bullying- there were other complaints about her from others. So the school had enough of the drama and just expelled her 💁🏻‍♀️ I didn’t even need to take it to the parents, the school handled it. Not just a detention or suspension, they fully kicked her out

I never needed to. I talked to the teacher about it. She kept them separated most of the time. After the bully hit my kid in the face, he went to the principal‘s office & I’m pretty sure he got kicked out after that lol.

Bullied kid here ✌️ in my personal experience as a child, we went to the school and when it was not handled my mom reached out to other moms.

As a mother myself, if it came to it, I’d likely go straight to the parents. I wish I had to suffer less and things were addressed quicker.

Oh I talk to peoples children directly. At parks, play places, etc., school will be no exception when she goes. 🥰
