How to handle bullying at school

In this Hindi‑English monologue, the speaker shares a personal bullying incident where a child was repeatedly called names at school, leading to fear and sadness. She outlines the three typical parental reactions—telling the child to stop, discussing the issue with teachers or filing complaints, and trying to teach the child how to cope—while noting their limitations. She then presents a more proactive approach: directly communicating with the bully, involving the police when necessary (illustrated by a case where the child spoke to police and the bully’s behavior improved), and adopting mindset and behavior coaching for the child. The speaker emphasizes changing the child’s mindset, teaching assertive communication, and creating a supportive community space where real issues can be solved, promising additional resources and links in the comments. The overall message is to move beyond passive reactions and empower both child and parents with concrete, empathetic actions.
