Talking to your child about bullying is easier when you know what you're looking for. 💜

When your child comes home upset about something that's happened at school or online, it can be hard to know whether it's bullying or a disagreement that's gone too far.

Bullying is more than a one-off argument or falling out. It's when someone repeatedly misuses their power to hurt, exclude or upset another person. It can happen face-to-face or online.

Knowing what signs to look out for can help you work out whether your child is experiencing bullying or involved in bullying behaviour.

The best thing you can do? Keep the conversation going. A simple check-in can help your child feel safe, supported and ready to speak up when something doesn't feel right. 💬

If something's worrying you, talk to your child's teacher or principal. Parentline Qld + NT can also support you on 1300 30 1300.
