Bullies are your kid’s number one enemies. They are the instigator of many problems of overweight kids. There are a lot of bullies everywhere, in school, classroom, playground, and sometimes your neighbor’s kids. So what can you do if your kids are bullied in school?
The first thing you should do is to let your kid handle it by themselves, at first. After all, they can always ignore the comments and insults, or they can just simply walk away. Sometimes these things are for the best, the more they take noticed of the people who are bullying them, the more these bullies attack them.
But there are also a periods when you have to act and step in. These are the times when your kid is already hurting or the situation is beyond your kid’s control. Being bullied is not normal, just because you kid is overweight. The following can help you handle your kid situations.
1.Talk to the teacher. As a mother you have the right to protect your kid from anything and anyone. You can ask the teacher to step in especially, if the bullies are your kid’s classmates or schoolmates.
2.Talk to the principal – If by any chance the teacher is unwilling or unable to assist in your kids problems, ask the principal instead. After all your kid has the right to go to school without the feeling of being threatened or bullied.
3.The support of the parents is very essential in this important time of their kid’s life. Most particularly, if they are trying to lose weight. Giving them support inside the home and encouraging them to continue their program, can ease the negative effects of being bulled when they’re not at home.
