Did your child come home sad today because they were bullied in school
Are you experiencing workplace bullying yourself or even schoolyard bullying from parents in your child’s school
Bullying can happen in many forms, from name calling to exclusion of play and passive aggressive remarks at social events. It’s never nice to be at the receiving end of unkind words or behaviours. It is often hard for adults to cope with bullying and even worse for children and adolescents. Unfortunately, bullying does happen.
Here at My Favourite Physio, we believe in empowering our families and clients who we see because we believe that Physiotherapy is not just about gross motor skills and the ability to run, hop, skip and jump. Physiotherapy is about empowering the children and adults we see to live their best potential, enjoy active living without pain and to be able to participate within the community with peers and family.
We empower our clients who face bullying by explaining that Bullies bully because of 3 Main Reasons:
1. Bullies feel threatened by your achievements and success;
2. Bullies are jealous of you, who you are, what you have and what you have achieved;
3. Bullies bring you down so they feel better about themselves.
Bullying is a result of issues the BULLY HAS and NOT YOU, knowing this fact will help empower the person who is being bullied.
We empower our clients to take the following Action steps to handle bullying at school,
1. STOP, GO, TELL. Put your hand up and say “Stop, I don’t like it”, Move away from them, If the bully persists, Go and Tell a teacher.
2. Talk about what happened with your parents/trusted adult rather than keep it inside yourself.
3. Keep focusing on your goals, don’t let the bullies distract you from living your best life! Keep winning at what you do best!
