#625: Beating Bullies

Are you concerned about bullying?

Research tells us that the #1 concern of parents for their children is that they will be bullied.60 percent of all mothers and fathers report this fear.

Though bullying may seem to us to be child’s play that will pass in time, the emotional effects are powerful, especially for boys, who are struggling with identity in a world that values them less.

Your son’s best response to bullying will be fostered as his identity grows in a community that supports your values, which should include a respect for all people. A strong identity with a faith-based community is a great defense against the feelings of inadequacy that can threaten a boy’s confidence.
