Bully-proofing your child

Around 1 in 5 children experience bullying in person or online. Bullying is devastating for children, extremely stressful for working parents to navigate and overtime can erode family wellbeing. Anyone who has experienced bullying knows how frightening and life-destroying it can be if it is not addressed.

Employees with caring responsibilities want to protect their children from harm but often don’t know what they can do to help their child overcome bullying online or in person.

Resourcing employees reduces parental stress so they can succeed at home and be more focussed and productive at work. Workplace programs that support working parents and their families to thrive, nurture a family-friendly workplace culture.

Designed for working parents and carers raising children aged toddler to teenager.

The step-by-step practical strategies in this session help employees with caring responsibilities by exploring:

• What bullying is and what it isn’t.
• The prevalence of bullying and its many harms.
• Why your child might not tell you they’re being bullied or that they are a bully.
• Practical approaches for parents to help their children overcome bullying.
• Empowering your child with life skills so they become “bully-proof”.
• Opportunities for learning, reflection, engagement in polls and to ask questions.

This session provides working parents and carers with strategies to protect children from being bullied and help them develop skills to be bully-proof.
