As a parent, bullying prevention requires connection, communication, and knowing when to step in.

As we head back to school, one of the most powerful things parents can do is talk openly with their kids. Ask open ended questions about friendships and how your child is feeling. When check ins like this are a daily norm, children are more likely to open up when they really need to.
