Big Bad Bullies: Talking with your Child about Their Aggressive Peers

Welcome to Mom's Talk Q&A, a weekly column aimed at making life just a little bit easier for families in the North Shore.

Each week, we will pose a question many parents have likely asked themselves, like, how you get the kids to eat healthy foods or when is it appropriate to allow them to use social media.

Our then joins forces to share their knowledge on the topic and you, the reader, can chime in with your two cents too. Just add your advice below in the comment section.

Now, this week's question:

How do talk to your child if he or she is being bullied at school? Do you tell your child to fight back or turn the other cheek? How do you approach the issue if you child is the bully? What kind of resources can parents use to help a child suffering at the hands of a bully? Do you think the schools do enough to address bullying in their classrooms and hallways?
