Hi Ross, Thank you so very much. Many of the children I work with are or have been bullied. We take this very seriously. We meet with the school teacher, administrators and request their policies. We also work with children on these issues. If we feel they need more assistance we would without hesitation refer them either to a psychologist, social worker, or other professional who had more training dealing with the emotional aspects involved with bullying. I think one of the most important things for a child is that they feel protected, and that the adults around them are assisting them in solving the problem. Marilyn Langevin from ISTAR in Canada has an excellent program called TAB (Teasing and Bullying) that can be administered by teachers. Best Wishes, Kristin
