Anti-Bullying Advice for Parents and Carers

Family Martial Arts Centres is committed to stopping bullying in all its forms.

In November each year, ABA runs Anti-Bullying Week – a high profile campaign to shine a light on the issue of bullying, the damage it can do to our children and young people, and what we can do about it.

Bullying will only stop if we take action together. We know that the majority of children, parents, schools and community organisations do want to take action to tackle bullying but sometimes it can be hard to know what to do, who can help and what strategies really work.

There is no easy answer when it comes to bullying behaviour – every situation is different and requires a different approach. So, how can parents and carers recognise the signs that may tell them if child or young person is either being bullied or bullying – what might they be doing, saying or feeling.

We have prepared a FREE in-depth guide on how to handle bullying which we give out to all members. We also work on improving confidence helping our students become more assertive which in turn helps deal with bullying.
