Children often become victims of bullying in school or college. This bullying can be physical, verbal, or cyber. Such children often suffer silently. Often incidents of bullying with children come to the fore in school, college, or coaching centers. Children tease each other, show bullying at a young age, and emotionally torture each other. Earlier bullying was limited to pranks, pushing, teasing, and leg pulling, but now it has become emotional, sexual, and even cyberbullying. Children who bully others may have been victims of a weak mentality themselves or may have grown up seeing a similar environment in the family, so they find a victim and take it out on them. Many children tend to control or lord it over others so that they see themselves as powerful and big. Such children think that their behavior is normal, they are just having fun, but their fun turns out to be very serious for others and they do not even realize their mistake.
What is the reason?
Many children are mentally weak. Taking advantage of their weakness, other children molest them. Sometimes children are bullied because of gender, color, caste, etc. Apart from this, children who do not get much love or attention at home, or there are frequent conflicts in the family, they feel lonely inside and become irritable. Such children do more bullying. Some children bully even with siblings at home, so they behave in the same way in school.
Understand the signs
When the child started refusing to go to school.
When he complains of a stomach ache or any other physical problem.
At home, the child starts remaining silent or does not do daily activities with the mind.
How does the child talk, is there any problem with his communication? He doesn't remain fearful, does he?
Fidgeting or withdrawing, especially after looking at a phone, computer, or device.
Save like this
If physical bullying is happening with your child, then you stand by him and pay attention to his physical changes. Be her friend and try to boost her confidence. You can give him behavior therapy to get him out of the past. Many times children are not able to tell such things to the home or teachers. In such a situation, parents try to understand the child by getting involved in his activities, listening to him, and asking him how he wants to deal with the situation.
If needed, talk to the counselor and also visit the child's school. When the child is at home, do activities that they enjoy. Research the social media platforms the child uses and understand how they can use the block and report tools to combat cyberbullying. Meditation, music, and counseling help children a lot.
After class 6...
Child psychologist Dr. Anjali Gupta says, bullying mostly happens after class 6, as children change their schools after fifth. This age is 9-12 years. When a child comes from another city or takes admitted to one school to another, then there is more atmosphere of bullying at that time.
Sometimes elders also bully children, which leaves such a deep impact on them that even after growing up, a kind of fear appears in their nature. They can't get over the past and they don't trust anyone. Such children start being very depressed about relationships and then live a life of tension.
