Tips to avoid bullies!
Bullies look for kids that display insecurity, fear, and low self-esteem. How victims respond, how they hold their head, whether they stand tall or are slumped, even the tone of their voice can signal that a kid might make an easy target. What's more, teaching kids to appear confident is sometimes easier than teaching them to tell the bully to stop or to have a witty comeback. Some kids just don't have an assertive bone in their body and if they try to stand up to bullies verbally, it can fail.
Be Assertive - Make sure your kids know the difference between aggressive behavior and assertive behavior . For instance, assertive people stand up for their rights and are comfortable defending themselves or others against unfairness. They use a strong and confident voice to get their point across in a respectful manner. Meanwhile, an aggressive person uses control, intimidation, and yelling to get their way.
