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"

... I was told a few weeks ago by a friend that her daughter was being bullyed at school and maybe my son was too, i asked my son if he was being bullyed at school and luckyly he said yes and looked relieved then broke down . He is only 6, i had noticed alot of extra bruising and cuts on his body the previous 2 wks (i feel guilty coz i even asked him why and he said i dunno) so i had an idea it was physical bullying. I sat him down on my bed where he feels safe, and before i asked him any questions I re-assured him that I loved him, that I would listen to him, that I would believe everything he told me etc I also found out he had told a dinner lady on many occasions and been ignored so to me i felt like maybe he hadn't told me himself because he thought if they dont listen no one will. Plus the threats from bullies 'if you tell it'll get worse' prob didn't help. Maybe ask her to write you a letter about any worries she has, i remember doing this myself when i was a teenager as i didn't want to talk to my mum face to face. It ended well beacause my mum read it alone then later came and showed me much love and understanding without any confrontation, which i thought she would not of done and that she just didn't 'care' and i was just a bad child. I hope you find out what is going on with your daughter, always trust your instinct, never give up.  |
