เลี้ยงลูกอย่างไรไม่ให้ถูกกลั่นแกล้งและเป็นฝ่ายรังแกผู้อื่น

</p>
<p style="">Parenting in this era, besides focusing on physical health, the mental health of children is also an important aspect that requires special attention and care. One issue that affects children&#8217;s mental health and is often seen in online news is bullying. Parents should know how to observe their children&#8217;s symptoms and find ways to strengthen their protection so that their beloved children can grow up with immunity in society.</p>
<h2 style=" color: #008080;">What is considered bullying?</h2>
<p style="">Many parents may think that children playing together naturally involves teasing each other, but in reality, bullying has a greater impact than expected. Bullying among children can take many forms, such as verbal abuse, physical harm, exclusion from groups, slander, teasing, and among older children who have learned to use the internet, bullying can also occur online. This causes the victims to have problems socializing with friends at school, accumulate stress, and may lead to depression.</p>
<p style="">Moreover, bullying reflects that children do not understand their rights and duties and do not respect others. If we do not teach children to learn these things, bullying will become an endless cycle!</p>
<h2 style=" color: #008080;">What should parents do when their child becomes a target of bullying…</h2>
<p style="">Some children who come to see a doctor because they are bullied often have other hidden problems, such as speech delays, being quiet, difficulty socializing, autism, poor academic performance, learning disabilities, having different physical appearances or characteristics from their peers, family problems, broken families, or lack of self-confidence. Children who bully others often notice these vulnerabilities and use them to tease, mock, and make it seem like a joke.</p>
<p style="">Helping children who are bullied is not just about addressing the effects of teasing or punishing the perpetrators, but also about identifying other overlooked problems. This is important for parents and teachers to look for in order to boost confidence, strength, and enhance self-protection concepts in children more effectively.</p>
<h2 style=" color: #008080;">Is our child being bullied? Parents can observe these symptoms…</h2>
<p style="">Bullying is when a child is mentally and physically disturbed. It can be observed from both external signs and the child&#8217;s behavior. For physical bullying, there are often marks such as wounds, pinches, bruises. Other forms of bullying include frequently damaged belongings brought to school or children often claiming to lose money, but in reality, it is stolen or extorted, threatened, and they dare not tell their parents.</p>
<p style="">For children who are quiet and shy, they often show clear signs of anxiety that can be noticed, such as daydreaming, irritability, etc. Some may show regressive behavior, refusing to do things they used to do or behaving differently, such as refusing to go to school or cooperate in activities.</p>
<h2 style=" color: #008080;">What if our child is the one bullying others… what should parents do?</h2>
<p style="">From the perspective of bullying, not only the victims should receive help, but the perpetrators should also receive treatment to prevent them from bullying others.</p>
<p style="">Children who bully often have ADHD or problems from upbringing, such as parents not paying attention, not spending time teaching, ignoring the child&#8217;s behavior, or overly indulging the child, giving too much freedom without boundaries, never controlling behavior, causing the child not to understand their rights, duties, and responsibilities.</p>
<p style="">Some children may be under pressure at home, causing stress. When they don&#8217;t know where to release it, they take it out on others, form groups at school, try to stand out to get attention, and want to create an image of being strong in society. Parents often do not see these problems and do not bring the child to see a doctor because they ignore their child&#8217;s behavior and are too focused on their own matters. This allows the child to hide their wrongdoings as secrets, making the bullying cycle endless.</p>
<h2 style=" color: #008080;">‘Home’ – The place to build immunity against bullying</h2>
<p style="">Family is the smallest but most important unit in building immunity in a child&#8217;s life. The duty of every parent is to teach their child about their rights, duties, and responsibilities. Teaching this starts with helping them understand “who they are,” how much their parents love them, teaching them about love, care, and also knowing how to praise them to build their self-worth. These things are often difficult for many parents, but if a child has strong immunity in this area, it will help protect them from harming others because they already know their responsibilities at school.</p>
<p style="">Once the child knows who they are, the next step for parents is to teach them “who others are.” They should introduce the child to others around them, know their friends&#8217; names, and recognize good qualities in friends so the child can see the positive sides of others, learn empathy, and forgive others. To help children know others, parents must be proactive in fulfilling their role and be role models in social interactions for their children.</p>
<p style="">If we teach children to love themselves but not to love others, bullying will continue because children do not understand how to live with others in society. Raising a child is about creating a true social being. Even if in the future the child encounters bullying at work or in any society, they will have the mental immunity to overcome it strongly.</p>
<h2 style=" color: #008080;">‘School’ – A simulated society where children must learn</h2>
<p style="">Besides family, schools also play a role in shaping children&#8217;s immunity. When bullying occurs, it is not only the family&#8217;s responsibility to care and take charge because schools help build values and instill in children their rights and duties, as well as respect for others&#8217; rights. If schools and teachers cannot teach this to children, the cycle of bullying will continue in schools.</p>
<h2 style=" color: #008080;">Bullying can be stopped through treatment</h2>
<p style="">If parents have tried every way themselves or worked with the school but still cannot help the child break free from the bullying cycle, whether as a victim or perpetrator, they should bring the child to see a doctor for treatment to find the child&#8217;s real problems. It is possible that the child has an illness unknown to the parents. The sooner they receive consultation and treatment, the more it will affect the child&#8217;s development and growth.</p>
