How To Keep Your Girl Child From Bullies

No to Bullying

Parents are so overwhelmed these days especially in raising female kids, it had become a serious nightmare especially regarding crazy atrocities shown in the media. Let us see a case of a five-year-old girl from Pennsylvania who was kidnapped by an older man- thank God for the teenage boys who became her hero and saved her from the fist of a pedophile.

Parents used to be worried about girls' unwanted pregnancy, use of alcohol and drugs but now it is way much more than that. Kidnapping, cyberbullying. online stalking, dating violence, pedophiles and internet child porn are now common occurrence-this is scaring right? My thoughts exactly. I really don't mean to scare parents here.

A parent's dream is to see her little girl grow into an independent woman while enjoying a happy, healthy and safe environment to grow.

As your baby gets to school age, she meets all kinds of fellow girls, especially in school. Many girls can be mean to one another but if your girl is aware of signs of hostility among some girls, she can easily avoid them.

Family background, culture, and environment shape children's behaviour. Some girls are hostile, aggressive and mean and mostly picked this attitude from their home. The hostile girls never feel right about themselves and so continuously drag other girls down. For that reason, you should let your girl know that any unkindness from other girls is rooted in their personal background and should know that no child is born to mean, they are the product of their environment. Explain to your child never to emulate them or allow their actions to cause any form of low self-esteem to their being.

Build self-confidence in your child early in life, make them respect and see good in others and of course shouldn't be bullies themself- I have worked with young kids and have noticed some patterns among some very confident kids who sometimes ride on others.

Always build a trusting relationship with your child so you will be the first to report to in case of any strange situation going on in her life.
