Steps to Fighting a Bully – Part 1 of 2


as a parent you want to protect your
child but you can’t be in the schoolyard
with them fighting their battles hi I’m
Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
learning for simple rules you can teach
your child to help them deal with a
bully we need to talk to our children
about bullying we need to give our
children options we need to empower them
that there are things they can do so in
the workshops or in the private sessions
that I give I give them four basic rules
that we follow number one is that
whatever confrontation your child is
going through with the bully it cannot
last long it cannot longer the
interaction between your child and the
Intimidator the worse things are for
your child our second rule is no more
than five words and we keep repeating
the same words over and over we know
that in a high-stress situation the body
enters what is called tunnel vision
tunnel hearing so when your child
answers to the bully right leave me
alone don’t touch me back off I said no
whatever they choose it has to be no
more than five words has to be small
words and it has to be continuously
repeated leave me alone I said leave me
alone don’t leave me alone not getting
hooked into what the person saying
you’re fat and you’re ugly no I’m not
fat while I just entered your
conversation so no since you’re fat and
you’re ugly leave me alone I said you’re
fat and you smell I said leave me alone
always repeating the same thing our rule
number three is what I refer to as a
baseball I say it once i say it twice
strike one strike two as in baseball
you’re out so you’re out meaning i do
something i go get help i go to my
friends i move away i turn it into a
joke i hit i take a karate whatever but
i do something our final rule is what i
call the lion or mouse room
I can tell you that as a police officer
I listen a lot more to their body
language then to what they’re telling me
so here in the line and mouse rule it is
essential that the message you send to
the person who’s intimidating you that
you’re a lion and you’re certainly not
going to take this so through these four
little simple rules we now enter
scenario-based training where we now get
the child to use these rules we need to
push his buttons enough to get him to
react in an intimidating situation so
that he gets to apply these rules and
gets to feel his way through being
bullied in a controlled environment so
that when he goes to school piece of
cake
