(Undated) – October is National Bullying Prevention Month. The Cleveland clinic is offering some advice on how to talk to children about bullying which could have a huge impact on a child’s mental health. Studies show about one out of five children experience bullying with most cases happening at school. Vanessa Jensen, a pediatric psychologist with the Cleveland Clinic says its important parents don’t overreact if their child mentions someone being mean to them but instead ask more questions.
She says if a child makes excuses on why they don’t want to go to school it could be time for parents to talk to school officials.
