Bullying is truly a menace in the society. A child can get mentally affected by it and in some of the cases, it stays with them for the rest of their lives.
For children, bullying is like a bad nightmare that stays with them all the time. It can also shake their self-esteem, making them less confident about themselves.
According to Aha Parenting, children bully because it makes them feel powerful and almost everyone loves to be that, especially for young kids. Fortunately, parents can empower their children against bullying by telling them to be respectful towards everyone since the time they are young.
Once a child gets to respect everyone from the beginning, they will not bully any child. In addition, a parent should also teach their child to stand up for themselves if someone is calling them names or is not doing justice with them.
According to iBelieve, it's really important to tell a child that they have the power to say, "No!" If anyone is annoying or irritating them or they see that happening to someone else then they should stand up for it and should straight away stop it.
It is also really important for a child to know that it is okay to be scared of a bully and it is also okay to tell parents or any adult about it. They should not feel ashamed and wait to be bullied but rather just walk away or tell an adult about it. There's no need to feel ashamed of being powerless against insensibility of abusing power.
Parents ought to teach their child basic social manners, letting them know that they cannot get bullied as they have to power to say no. Informing them that bullies aren't powerful but rather self-obsessed little-minded beings who don't have anything better to do except for abusing others is the way forward of education children and eliminating their fear of being bullied.
