Inculcate Healthy Relationships within the Family To Prevent Bullying

We have always known that love begins at home. Parents have the foremost responsibility in inculcating healthy relationships for the children to live by, especially when they start living their own lives outside home.

As cases of suicides brought about by severe bullying were reported even in kids younger as 11 years old, socialists are now trying to arm parents all over the world to be vigilant and be proactive in preventing such a case from happening to their children. One such strategy for prevention would be to let the children instill in their minds an understanding of having a healthy relationship as an essential part of living.

We must understand that there will be no bullies only if all families live by the doctrine of a healthy relationship within. There have been studies that indicate bullies as individuals with low self-esteem, most probably due to an unloving family. Likewise, if your child lives in a family that respects individuality, they will be more understanding towards other children and that they will not be easily bullied since they can very well converse properly what they think is right and wrong. So parents, again and again, should be the one to start for their children how it is to live in a healthy environment, and that is in the home.
