How To Find Out If Your Child Is Being Bullied
 
 

Bullying is every parent's bogeyman. While some believe that bullying or being bullied is an intrinsic part of growing up, the consensus is that it has far-reaching negative
effects - both on the victim and on the bully. "But my child never tells me anything…!" runs a common refrain. Don't worry. We have a checklist of small danger signals that could tell you that your child is being bullied.
Ask these questions of yourself:

  
 
       
 
•
Is your child coming home with cuts, bruises or torn clothes every second day?
 
       
 
•
 Does he ask for stolen possessions to be replaced?  
       
 
•
 Has he fallen out with previously good friends?  
       
 
•
 Does he seem moody or bad tempered?  
 
   
 
•
 Does he seem to avoid leaving the house?  
       
 
•
 Is he doing less well at school work?  
       
 
•
 Has he become quieter than before?  
       
 
•
 Does he have trouble sleeping at night? Or does he wake up with nightmares  
       
     
Other than this, look out for one important behavioural change – if your child has begun to show uncharacteristic aggression towards younger siblings or playmates, it could well be a sign that he is a victim of similar behaviour elsewhere.
