Does the child look sad and depressed every time they come home from school? Do they not want to talk about it and tell you to leave them alone? Coming home with a sad, depressed look after school is the number one sign to look for, especially if they have tears in their eyes.

Being picked on in school causes problems and I know this one by experience. It seems that all the good kids in school get picked on. At least, that is how it was when I went to school. Open up the conversation with your child and share with them your experience in school. Ask them if they’re being bullied and tell them that the other kids are jealous. Find a way to make them smile! Do you think your child gets picked on in school?
