Parents, school staff, and other adults in the community can help kids prevent bullying by talking about it, building a safe school environment, and creating a community-wide bullying prevention strategy.
Las investigaciones revelan que los niños acuden a sus padres y cuidadores para obtener consejos y ayuda antes de tomar decisiones difíciles. En ocasiones, pasar 15 minutos al día hablando puede demostrarle a los niños que pueden hablar con sus padres si tienen algún problema. Keeping those lines of communication is critical and can help prevent bullying.
