What if my child is shy and has trouble making friends?

Start small! Encourage your child to say "hello" to one new person each day. Practice conversation starters at home, and consider signing up for activities that match their interests. Remember, quality friendships matter more than quantity.

How do I help my child deal with bullying?

Take it seriously and document incidents. Teach your child to walk away, find an adult, and never fight back physically. Work with school officials to address the problem, and consider role-playing scenarios at home to build confidence.
