How To Deal With Your Child Getting Bullied At School | Jo Frost Extreme Parental Guidance | Origin 

me too cheerleading his big brother hahahah

No one ever wants to hear it but many teachers ARE useless about bullying, and children are not obligated to lie about it and pretend they’re more helpful than they are.

Josh’s parents are not stupid for not recognising the impacts the bullying had on him. The old saying “you don’t know what you don’t know “ is very true. Parenting does not come with an instruction manual. His father was reacting to Josh’s behaviour. If you haven’t been through this, you don’t know what it’s like. I had a child that was being bullied at school unbeknownst to us. His behaviour changed dramatically. He went from a loving, affectionate boy to an angry, reactive, explosive young boy. We thought it was puberty and the challenges of adolescence. His safe place was at home. He would let out his anger and frustration at home towards us all. We could not have dinner together because he would be too explosive if anyone said the wrong thing. It was almost like he wanted someone to react to. We walked on egg shells for almost a year and a half. It was only after we sort the help of a psychologist and the bully left the school that we found out what was happening to our child. We hadn’t even thought about the possibility of him being bullied. Call us naive but unless you live it, you don’t know what it’s like. He is thriving now and has grown up to be a compassionate, caring and loving young man. What you don’t know you don’t know.

That's really great to hear he’s doing better really sorry your child had to go through that no child should be bullied

My late father was very heavy handed with my brother and I. He often used his belt and was easily angry and authoritarian. I guess he was very frustrated with himself and often fought with mum (loud words) and always during meals. I left home to go overseas to work at 19 and never came back home. Years later I felt sorry to leave my brother behind.

This works with a child who can speak well and understands their feelings. But some kids can't speak well and/or don't understand their feelings.

@@kaija-liisalaakso8266 true, but it also could help that child to eventually understand and articulate their feelings more.

Ba ha ha said like a non parent lol just you wait

Do you have children?

@@TeaCup1940didn't you read the commrnt?

Exactly, the parents should set an example.

hmmm yeah that’s true, but he also needs go respect the rules.

We never had snacks at home. We got some on Saturdays if we were lucky. Home cooked food every day. Maybe pizza once a month. Maybe it's a generation thing.

Yeah definitely!! I only buy snacks she asked for but I don’t buy loads of crap and when she has run out of snacks tough luck !!

@@plowensonit’s so funny we had a cupboard each as children and we had a 6 pack of crisps and soda for the week , once their gone that was it !!

SIMPLE DONT BUY UNHAELTHY SNACKS. Make snacks together, kids love that

And stop buying all the rubbish food. Parents need to set an example.

If the fridge and cupboards are filled with good food it wouldn't matter. Kid will eat only so many carrots.

Right?? I've never seen a kid sneak a banana... get a grip people lol.

​@@estellegetty1995 Bananas would soon fill them up. The junk food just makes them hyper.

Those poor siblings ,ya he treats u different bc u r a bully to all your family

Kids don't sneak carrots and apples. Don't keep crap food in the house and they wouldn't have an issue.

Yeah when someone in hospital finds out you haven't fed your kid for over a week when do social services come in? 😅

It was such weird advice. I was quite shocked. It sounds like a good way to get child protection involved!

Buy fruit. Have half a sandwich. Why does snack = junk food?

Lil kid hands not strong enough to tear back by the flappy part then it rips and you have to chew your way through the packet I mean get scissors
