The psychologist called the signs of bullying a child at school
Children rarely directly report that they have encountered school bullying, so parents should be able to recognize the first alarm bells on their own. This was announced on Sunday, March 9, by behavioral therapist, professional coach, family counselor, author of a popular blog about parenting Elena Kalashnikova in an interview withГазета.Ru ".
"As a parent, you may notice that the child has become anxious, irritable, or depressed. Maybe he suddenly started losing things, but he can't explain where they went," the expert noted.
In addition, she urged parents to pay attention to the child's complaints of headache or abdominal pain. You should also be wary if a student abruptly asks to change an educational institution without explaining the reasons.
Kalashnikova recommended that parents ask their child open-ended questions that reflect an adult's willingness to listen.
The family counselor drew attention to the parents' incorrect reaction when their child was confronted with bullying. According to her, telling a student "don't pay attention" or punishing abusers are ineffective ways to help a child cope with bullying.
Kalashnikova clarified that when faced with violence, it is necessary to act immediately. It is necessary to photograph the traces of beatings and go to the emergency room, submit a written application to the school with a request to sort out the situation and, if necessary, contact the police, the expert said.
"The main thing to remember is that a child should not feel lonely. The most important thing he can hear from you is, "I'm with you, and we'll make it," the psychologist concluded.
Earlier, on February 11, Svetlana Mikhailova, a specialist in socially significant projects "Where are my Children", told Izvestia about how to protect children from online bullying. She noted that it is important to talk to the child and explain to him that it is normal to turn to an adult in such a situation.
