Discussing online bullying with your child

It’s important to have regular conversations with your child about the online world, including issues like cyberbullying. This will help you to understand if they have ever experienced or witnessed online bullying for themselves, and give you an opportunity to support them and reassure them that you are always there to help.

Some questions which you could ask your child are:

• How can you be kind online?
• What would you do if someone was being unkind online?
• What do you think cyberbullying is?
• How is it different to physical bullying?
