Why Kids Bully and How to Prevent Your Child From Becoming a Victim - Judy French

The Counter Culture Mom Show on Lightsource.com - Audio

Bullying is a form of hurt or harm that is inflicted upon a person who can’t get it to stop, because they don’t have as much power as the bully, says Judy French. Judy is the coordinator at PACER’s National Bullying Prevention Center in Los Angeles, California. She helps parents protect their children with sound advice and guidance and reminds them how important it is to work with the school district and respect school policies while simultaneously advocating for their children. Power struggles and structures at school are often hotbeds for bullying, and bullies themselves often push others around because of a lack of control in other areas of their lives. We really want to think about what are the foundational elements of a healthier community, Judy explains. TAKEAWAYS Parents should be advocates for their children and also teach their kids self-advocacy skills The best thing for a child getting bullied is to have good productive communication with parents and the school Schools are often looking for a pattern of behavior before they will take action An out-of-control homelife for kids may lead to bullying behavior at school and kids who bully may exhibit risky behaviors later in life 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODE Book Tina to Speak: https://bit.ly/48RJklD PACER video: https://bit.ly/3XDmR7i Victims of School Shootings: https://bit.ly/4evBcKe K-12 School Shootings in 2024: https://bit.ly/3XO6PaZ 🔗 CONNECT WITH PACER Website: https://www.pacer.org/bullying/ Facebook: https://bit.ly/3TTRXXk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pacer_nbpc/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH PACER TEENS AGAINST BULLYING Website: https://pacerteensagainstbullying.org/ 🔗 CONNECT WITH PACER KIDS AGAINST BULLYING Website: https://pacerkidsagainstbullying.org/ 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BY Covenant Eyes: https://bit.ly/TheHealingChurchFREEBook Capstone Legacy Foundation: https://capstonelegacy.org/ TUVU (sign up for free 30-day trial): https://www.tuvu.com/tina Institute For Creation Research: https://www.icr.org/tina 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOM https://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWS https://bit.ly/FPMCCMshow 📲 GET OUR APP FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDE http://bit.ly/landingpageCCM 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION 2023 Recap 2024 Goals: https://bit.ly/CCM23ImpactReport Make a Tax-Deductible Donation: https://counterculturemom.com/partner/ To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.lightsource.com/donate/1655/29
