Practical Strategies to Stop Bullying

Bullies lose interest the second a child becomes boring to them. The most effective

defense is teaching your child the gray rock technique where they respond with zero emotion and

Practice this at home through role play until it becomes automatic. Build their confidence

by finding activities where they naturally excel because confident body language alone repels most aggressors

before words are exchanged. Document every single incident with dates, exact words,

and witnesses since schools respond to patterns not isolated events. Never advise ignoring
