Question and Answer: Child Being Bullied

Hi Jesse and Melva,
Listening to your video and digesting the "food for thought" that you present, I wanted to validate your comments and say; I think it is extremely important for both the school and parents to be an active team, helping the child to feel supported and understood.
Sadly the fight against Bullying is an on-going saga. Bullying is an attitude and a behavior that is based on fear.
Thank you

Dear Dawn:
Thank you for your comment. We wholeheardly agree that children who are bullied require a supportive team consisting of parents, teachers, school administrators, and we would also include their fellow students. It is also most unfortunate and quite sad that because of dwindling financial resources, many of our schools are unable to provide the most effective types of intervention and counseling services to those being bullied as well as to those who are bullies. Yes, it is a continuing problem that must be addressed. Thanks again.
Our regards to you also
Jesse and Melva
