Take your child seriously

Bullying is not teasing (that can happen amongst friends and your child is on equal plan” with the teaser). Bullying is frightening and humiliating at any age, so listen to your child. Reassure your child that you believe him and will find a way to keep him safe.

Gather facts

Next, you need all the facts so you can help your kid create a plan to stop it. Ask questions like:

“What happened?”
“Who did this?”
“Where were you?”
“Who was there?” “Were you alone?”
“Has it happened before?” “How often?”
“How does it start?”
“What did you do?”
“Do you think he’ll do it again?”
“Did anyone help you?”
“Did an adult see this?”

Make an action plan

Most kids can’t handle bullying on their own: they need your help. Depending on your child’s age and the bullying situation, here are a few tips to consider:

Bullying usually happens in unsupervised areas so tell your kid to be near others at lunch, recess, in hallways, near lockers, parks, or other areas.
Tell your child there’s safety in numbers, so help him find one supportive companion.
Emphasize that sometimes the best thing to do is leave the scene or walk towards an adult, crowd or older kids.
Identify a trusting adult who can help your child when you’re not around. They must take this seriously, protect your child, and, if necessary, keep this role as protector confidential.

Teach confident body language

Research finds that kids who learn how to be assertive and appear more confident are less likely to be targeted by bullies. Teach your child to stand tall, holding his head high, to look more confident and less afraid. Tell your child to use a stone-faced glare or try a mean stare that looks straight through the bully. If your child needs to respond, he should use a strong, firm voice and say a short, direct message: “No.” “Nope.” “Cut it out.” “Leave me alone.” “No way.” Crying, whining, insulting, or threatening only makes things worse. Bullies love knowing they can push kid’s buttons.

Boost self-confidence

Being bullied dramatically affects your child’s self-esteem, so find ways, such as a hobby, sport or talent that your child enjoys and can excel at, to boost her confidence. Then help her develop the skill so her self-esteem grows.

Step in when needed

If there’s ever the possibility your child could be injured, step in. Talk to a teacher, supervisor or parent.

911 Actar mannikins Mannequins

Actar 911 CPR First Aid Training Manikins ( Mannequins ) Industry Standard.

One CPR manikin per student; no waiting or sharing

More hands-on practice

Save money

Economical lungs adjust for both adult and child CPR

Save time after class

Heads are easy to clean and disenfect; lungs are disposable.

Realistic features

Includes all essential landmarks: larynx, xiphoid, navel, and lower rib

Actar 911 is a simple training tool that has helped millions of people learn the steps of CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation). Described as a ‘masterpiece of simplicity’ the manikin has only 5 components yet it provides all the necessary features to learn the basic steps of rescue breathing and chest compressions.

It’s simplicity also made it affordable: a first-aid training organization could acquire from 10 to 30 Actar manikins for the price of one conventional manikin. Instructors could teach everyone together, and students no longer had to share or wait for their turn to practice. Instructors also enjoyed the convenience of carrying 10 manikins in a light, compact bag.Shortly after its introduction, large community training events with names like ‘Save-A-Life-Saturday’ were taking place in cities across Canada and the USA where thousands of people were being trained in CPR.Actar 911 went on to win several awards including the prestigious Canada Award for Business Excellence. The manikin was featured on a stamp issued by Canada Post. In January 07, Actar 911 will be presented alongside other Canadian innovations in a CBC two-hour television special The Greatest Canadian Invention.Ref: http://www.studioinnova.com

A sprain (from the French espraindre – to wring) is an injury which occurs to ligaments caused by being stretched beyond their normal capacity and possibly torn. Muscular tears caused in the same manner are referred to as a strain. In cases where either ligament or muscle tissue is torn, immobilization and surgical repair may be necessary.
