Did you know, one in four children in Australia is affected by bullying? The impact on children’s mental health can be profound.
In this Life Ed podcast, psychologist, bullying expert and co-author of the Resilience Triple P Positive Parenting Program, Dr Karyn Healy, explains why bullying behaviour occurs and what to do about it.
From the importance of strong friendship ties, to the role of warm supportive parenting, Dr Healy offers down-to-earth advice and says there is plenty parents can do to help their kids handle school bullying situations and grow into strong resilient adults.
