How Can I Help
My Child Be Ready?

Know where your child is, whom he or she is with, and what he or she is doing.
Monitor such things as your child's TV viewing and video game playing, much of which promotes aggression as the only way to resolve conflicts.
Ask your child how peers treat them: believing that adults can do little about the problem, most children are afraid or embarrassed to bring up to adults - even to parents - the fact that they are being bullied.
Allow - encourage - uyour child to develop skills that are valued by his or her peers (e.g., sports, music, etc.)
Apply fair, timely, and appropriate discipline.
Help your child expand their social circle by welcoming his or her friends to your home: get to know your child's peers and their parents.
Know what's going on - and participate in - your child's life.
Emphasize the positive to raise your child's self-esteem and self-confidence: praise, encourage and approve of your child.
Promote goal setting.
Help Your child resolve conflicts and solve problems at home.
