Untangling Family Life
Bullying involves a power imbalance in which the victims are unable to defend themselves. In this Untangling Family Life video, Dr. Lisa Damour describes the difference between bullying and social conflict, outlines what to do if you suspect your child is being bullied, and answers commonly asked questions about how best to detect and prevent bullying. Want to help your 10to20 learn about how to prevent and address bullying? Check out this Dear Teenagers video.
The advice provided by Dr. Damour here will not and does not constitute - or serve as a substitute for - professional psychological treatment, therapy, or other types of professional advice or intervention. If you have concerns about your child’s well-being, consult a physician or mental health professional.
