Introduction
Bullying can come in many different forms, but it always causes injury or even worse. Bullying victims may carry the psychological wounds of their ordeal for the rest of their life, even when there is no direct interaction between both the bully and the targeted. Therefore, to avoid harassment, caregivers must employ this particular strategy only if the grownups and children play a significant role.
Causes of Bullying
- Lack of kindness and understanding:
- Kids who verbally abuse others are unconcerned about the sufferings of everyone else.
- Groups of peers:
- The influence of social clusters can also play a significant role in harassment.
- The family provides insufficient love and attention and emotional security.
Ways of Resolving Bullying
- The best way to stop bullying is simply encouraging children to always talk to a trusted adult when they are assaulted.
- This practice would be the best way to stop bullying because when the victims speak to adults, they get comforted, supported, and advised if they cannot solve the problem themselves.
- If children are encouraged to report whenever harassment happens, it makes them feel more secure when someone stands up for them.
- According to the International Journal of Emerging Trends in Engineering and Development by Durga and Sasikiran, it is therefore essential to stand up to children who bully others (27). To do the above, one can make good use of humor such as asking the bullies to stop, or by confidently threatening the perpetrator.
- To emphasize threatening bullies, an adult can always talk about what would probably happen to bullies who do not act when asked to stop.
- In addition, children should constantly be reminded that it is advisable always to stay safe and stay near grownups or groups of other children.
- As per Urban Education Journal by Harris and Kruger, when I was a child in a day secondary school, my mother would always remind me that I could always talk to her about anything every time I went to school in the morning (25). Anytime I would have an issue at school, especially with older students, I would always speak to her about it.
- Being my mother’s pet, she would report the problem at school, making me feel as happy as a king.
- Children should be encouraged to watch episodes and PDFs with their fellow kids, and at the end of it all, hold up a discussion.
- According to Nakamura’s article, English Parenting for Japanese Parents, when adults spend at least ten minutes a day with their kids, children become assured that they can always talk to them whenever they have a problem or challenging situation (5).
- The best way to start chatting with young children is by starting conversations about their daily life situations and feelings.
- Despite grownups having conversations with their children about their daily activities, it is also advisable to talk about bullying.
- This idea would help adults understand and learn how bullying affects children and how pit makes them feel.
- According to Koppelman, adults and children can only attain this strategy if they can develop that open, friendly relationship (1206).
- This idea would help get to know about the life of bullying, hence making it easier to stop it.
- Moreover, children are always attracted to their hobbies, talents, and recreational activities.
- Offering, athletic, humming in a choir, and fitting together in a Boy Scout troop or institute organization are all choices for children.
- These events allow kids to have a good time while also meeting people who share their ideas. They can aid in developing trust and connections in children.
Conclusion
Finally, grownups teach the children on what to do base on their actions. Adults show their youngsters that harassment has no place in their lives by interacting with One another lovingly and respectfully. Even if it looks that they will be barely paying close attention, children are observing how grownups handle pressure, misunderstandings, and disagreement and how they interact with their networks, generations, and family.
