Bullying No Way Week 2026

“Small acts. Big impact. 💛 This , let’s remember: kindness doesn’t have to be loud to matter. Pause before you post, speak, or send — words travel farther than we think. Every small choice to lift someone up instead of tearing them down creates ripples. Be the reason someone feels safe today. 🤝✨”

Three hot tips:

1. The Pause Rule — Before hitting send or speaking up, take 3 seconds and ask: “Would I say this to their face? Would this make someone feel smaller?” Teach children (and model it yourself) that a pause is a superpower, not a weakness.
2. Narrate the Ripple — Talk through real examples at dinner: how one unkind comment online spread, or how one child saying “hey, sit with us” changed someone’s whole day. Making the impact visible helps child connect small choices to big consequences.
3. Build an “Upstander,” Not Just a Bystander — Give children simple scripts to use when they see bullying: “That’s not cool,” or just walking over to sit with the person being excluded. Practicing the words in advance makes it much easier to use them in the moment.

- Talk regularly – Encourage open conversations about their day and how they’re feeling.
- Teach empathy and respect – Show your child how to understand and value others’ feelings.
- Set boundaries for technology use – Help your child navigate the online world safely and responsibly.
- Be a role model – Demonstrate kindness, respect, and positive conflict resolution in your own relationships.

Bullying No Way

Do you know the right questions to ask your child when something's wrong? đź’¬

When kids are struggling, whether it's frightening news, world events or something closer to home, the right conversation at the right time can make all the difference.

It’s normal for children to feel worried, sad or overwhelmed. Knowing what to ask and how to listen can help them feel safe, supported and understood. 🤍

Simple things like creating a calm space to talk, listening without judgement and helping your child name their feelings can go a long way.

We’ve pulled together practical resources to support your child’s wellbeing, including what to look for, how to start the conversation, and where to go for extra support if you need it.
