Cyber Bullying - What Should Parents Do?

What should I do if my child tells me he is being cyber bullied?
Many parents react and may get angry before they know what exactly is going on. This may be an added barrier for the child to speak up when they are bullied.

Our counsellor’s advice:
1) Deal with his emotion – Listen First!
    Listen to your child and help him share and process his emotions.
2) Deal with the bullying from his perspective
    a) Find out what happened.
    b) Save evidence.
    c) Understand his role in it.
    d) Offer rational solution and help him learn to resolve conflicts.
    e) Report it if necessary.

Who can you report it to?
1) School Teacher/ Counsellor (if incident involve school mates)
2) Police (if you sense that your child is in danger)
3) Support him through the journey.

Get help if needed!!
