Spotting the signs in your child
7:55:21 2023-09-06 1487

It can be very worrying if you suspect that bullying has affected your child’s mental health. If they have not opened up to you about this, but you have a gut feeling, you may be on the lookout for some signs, such as:

  • Your child may be feeling anxious and worried all the time
  • They may be feeling depressed, sad, low and tearful
  • Low self-worth and negative self-talk
  • Feeling nausea and have stomach pains
  • Feeling angry and stressed
  • They could be feeling helpless and hopeless, like things will never get better

The impact of their mental health may mean that your child is struggling with day to day tasks such as:  

  • Finding it hard to concentrate at school
  • Not wanting to be around your friends and family
  • Not enjoying the things they used to enjoy
  • Changes in their appetite
  • Issues with their sleep patterns

Supporting your child

If your child is struggling, it can be hard for them to look after themselves. Encouraging them to do so can help them feel stronger and more able to cope. Let your child know you are there for them when they want to talk to you about how they are feeling. It may be a big decision for them to open up about their worries and anxieties so ensure you give them the space, time and attention. 

It may help for your child to write how they are feeling in a journal. Encourage your child to reflect on what they would say to a friend who is struggling with something similar, as this provides the opportunity to practice more positive self-talk.
