What If the Child Being Bullied Never Tells You?
Not every child who is being bullied will come home and say, “Someone is bullying me.”
Sometimes, the signs are much quieter.
They may suddenly stop wanting to go to school.
They may become withdrawn or unusually quiet.
Their confidence may change.
They may start avoiding friends or activities they once enjoyed.
And sometimes, they may simply say, “I’m fine, when they really aren't.
That’s why it’s important to create a safe space where children know they can talk about what they're experiencing without feeling ashamed, blamed, or afraid.
As parents, teachers, and caregivers, we can make a difference by listening, asking questions, paying attention to changes, and reminding children that **they don't have to face bullying alone.
Every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and supported.
Take The Bullying By The Horns is a book that encourages children and the adults around them to recognize bullying, talk about it, and take steps toward addressing it.
Don't ignore the signs. Start the conversation.
