What Parents Should Know About Bullying

StopBullying.gov describes bullying as unwanted, aggressive behavior that involves a real or perceived power imbalance and is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time.

Talk early and often

Federal guidance encourages parents to talk with kids regularly about their day, their friends and how to get help from a trusted adult.
