Cyberbullying with Kids






Cyberbullying is a growing concern among children and teenagers, as technology has made it easier for individuals to harass and harm others online. One of the most significant challenges parents face is how to help their children

In the case of our client's son, Adam, the parents took several steps to address the issue. First, they documented the bullying by saving any messages, posts, or evidence of the bullying in case they needed to report it to teachers, other parents, and online platforms. They also sought help from a school counselor.

Adam's situation was dire, leading to bad dreams, bedwetting, and tantrums, his parents reached out to me for help. We used the self-realization technique to help Adam admit that he didn't have all the answers and to make him and others feel valued, important, and appreciated. We also did an activity that helped him objectively disengage from his issues for a few moments, letting emotions ease off, so he could return to a more objective view.

The feedback from Adam's parents was that he was able to conduct himself well, make friends, and even join the football team. Some of his classmates even came to apologize to him. Adam even found a new hobby of rescuing stray kittens and cats with a group.

Overall, cyberbullying is a serious issue that affects many children and teenagers. Parents can take several steps to help their children cope with the negative effects of cyberbullying, including documenting the bullying, seeking help from a school counselor, and using self-realization and objective disengagement techniques. With the right support and guidance, children can overcome the negative effects of cyberbullying and thrive to cope with the negative effects of cyberbullying.
