Changkat Primary School Middle Primary Ju l y 2 0 1 7 Issue 1 Encourage Your Child to Be an Upstander. Being an upstander means a child takes positive action when he or she sees a friend or another student being bullied. Share how one person can make a difference. "When it's the kids who speak up, it's ten times more powerful than anything that we'll ever be able to do as an adult," says Walter Roberts, a professor of counsellor education and author of Working With Parents of Bullies and Victims. Report Repeated, Severe Bullying. If your child is reluctant to report the bullying, go with him to talk to a teacher, Year Head, school counsellor or the principal. Keep records by documenting instances of bullying. Stay on top of the situation by reporting them to the school. http://www.parents.com/kids/problems/bullying 1 Parenting Tips With warmest thanks, Mdm Nur Iffah, Middle Year Head Greetings and a warm welcome to our very first issue of the Middle Primary s Newsletter!
