Q. I know that something is going on with my daughter, but she keeps saying no and brushes me off. What should I do? A. Find a quiet time to talk when you won’t be disturbed by the phone, the TV, or anyone else. You may have to leave the house. Tell her that you know something is wrong. Tell her that there is no problem too big that can’t be solved. Tell her that she doesn’t have to be frightened. Provide her with some general categories and watch her reaction. Ask about friends, ask if her health or safety is in jeopardy, ask if she told someone a lie…give her many possibilities. Create time and space for her to tell you. Call the teacher and the counsellor and share your concerns. Don’t dismiss your concerns, and don’t give up. If she simply refuses to tell you, see if she would be willing to talk to a family friend or someone that you know and trust. *Note - this question part of the book "How Parents Can Take Action Against Bullying"
