Parents, school staff, and other caring adults have a role to play in preventing bullying. They can:

1. Help kids understand bullying. Talk about what bullying is and how to stand up to it safely. Tell kids bullying is unacceptable. Make sure kids know how to get help.

2. Keep the lines of communication open. Check in with kids often. Listen to them. Know their friends, ask about school, and understand their concerns.

3. Encourage kids to do what they love. Special activities, interests, and hobbies can boost confidence, help kids make friends, and protect them from bullying behavior.

Model how to treat others with kindness and respect.

Increase your kids' long-term confidence, and prevent any potential bullying situations through hobbies, extracurricular activities, and social situations
