Moms Talk Q&A: How Do We Beat Bullying? Can We?

Whether you were bullied as a kid, teased other kids or stood by as peers bore the brunt of harassment, chances are you remember coming across bullying in one form or another. The issue has taken on a new face with cyber bullying and threatening texts. More and more schools have adopted zero tolerance policies and a growing number of state representatives work to pass anti-bullying legislation. But, let's face it, chances are your kids are going to face bullying in one form or another as they move through life.

This week we ask: How do you address the issue of bullying with your children? What can we do to prevent it? What should we do when it happens?

Our parenting council is going to jump into the comments section below to get the conversation started. We encourage you to join them. The more voices we get weighing in on parenting issues, the more we can work together to ensure the success of our communities' youth.
