Publisher's Synopsis
Bullying and cyberbullying increasingly involve children and adolescents from an early age, with truly devastating psychological outcomes.
It is important to reflect on how much most situations related to bullying and cyberbullying remain submerged and do not reach the attention of the reference adults, both because the victims tend not to talk about the pain they feel and because many times they underestimate how much they are happening. Many times the episodes are defined as "childish" or "childish", without really considering the extent, the gravity and the profound impact that all this can have, both in the short and in the long term, on the victims.
How can you tell if a child is being bullied?Unfortunately, there is no single strong and unequivocal 'signal' that helps parents to understand when their child suffers from constant offenses in the school environment. The child/kid can throw signals through behaviors different from the usual ones.
If a boy, for example, who has never had difficulty at school, has a sudden drop in his performance, it means that something is wrong. In general, he also begins to devote less effort to the tasks assigned and shows little motivation and sometimes apathy.
Moreover, those who are victims of bullying "no longer show the same interest in peers and instead display withdrawal and isolation",
"The fragile child closes even more, at home he doesn't talk, maybe he becomes.
In any case, it is important that parents notice all those little signs of transformation that are not part of the nature of the child and then, over time, become more evident ".
Sometimes, it can also happen, for example, that 10 euro bills disappear from the parent's wallet because the bully periodically stops the boy and asks him for money.
Another alarm bell on the part of those in the sights of bullies is to accuse physical illnesses of various kinds. The classic stomach or headaches are often an excuse to avoid school.
When a parent fears that the child is being bullied, it is essential to keep the dialogue open. But the adult should not, under any circumstances, but the boy under pressure.
No sentences, like, 'Come on, talk, in short, what's going on at school?' Such an attitude would make the boy close even more.
In a dimension of dialogue, it is important to respect moments of silence instead. The child must understand that the parent is always present for him, in every situation, even if difficult.
The child needs to know that he can rely on his parents Only then will they talk to you about everything and you will be sure that whatever happens to you you will know
