10 SIGNS YOUR CHILD IS BEING BULLIED AT SCHOOL

Difficulty explaining (or can’t explain) injuries or having reoccurring injuries
Having damaged or lost possessions (including their clothing, books, toys, electronics, etc.)
Frequently feeling sick or faking sick (examples: frequent headaches or stomach aches)
Changing eating habits (including skipping meals, binge eating, coming home from school hungry because they didn’t eat lunch, etc.)
Frequently having nightmares or having other difficulty sleeping
Not wanting to go to school or ride the bus, losing interest in schoolwork, or getting worse grades than usual
Suddenly avoiding social situations or losing friends
Beginning to bully younger siblings or kids (sometimes they start to mimic what is happening to them)
Feeling helpless, having a decreased self-esteem, or having other personality changes (including being more reserved or sad)
Having self-destructive behaviors (examples: hurting themselves, blaming themselves, trying to run away from home)

TIPS FOR DEALING WITH BULLYING
It is important to note that not every child who is bullied at school will show these specific signs of bullying. Remember, your child may not want to tell you that they are being bullied. However, if you really think your child is being bullied at school, don’t ignore the problem–take action!

Whether you do or do not think your child is currently being bullied at school, it’s a good idea to talk with your child about bullying. Because communication is a crucial relationship building block, it’s important to show your child you are listening. As you listen to them, the trust between you will strengthen, and your child will begin to see you more as an ally, someone who they can confide in.

"Every building needs a firm, strong foundation. Every good, fruit bearing tree needs good seeds and every excellent car requires great and excellent engineering. Similarly children need a firm, good and excellent way of training, exposure and strong activities to participate in, to enable them to be the best version of themselves. Children learn what they see, hear and live" Chosen Occupational Therapy Pty Ltd.
A great Saturday it was at Junior Hands Fashion show in Sandton :)

"Children learn what they see, hear and live. May we direct them to see their hopes, dreams and aspirations come to reality. May we enable them to hear us motivating and encouraging them against all odds. And finally, may we grant them the opportunity to live out their ambitions." Chosen Occupational Therapy Pty Ltd
