ometimes the best defense is a good offense. Helping your child avoid bullies can be just as successful as the teaching startegies that are focused on putting a stop to bullying behavior.


It’s no secret that kids with learning and behavioral disorders like ADHD are often easy targets for bullies. Some kids lack proper social skills and may unintentionally behave in a way that invites the attention of bullies.


n Ask your child what was happening right before the bullying started and what he or she might do differently next time to avoid it. This will help your child figure out what triggered the bully to act. The more aware the child is, the easier it is to change behavior.


n Give your child some verbal tools to defuse the bully. Your child might say with a smile, “OK, you’re the winner — you win, I lose,” and walk away. Bullies love to argue, so a little indifference takes the wind out of their sails.
