How to Make Sure That Your Child Can Handle A Bully


Age 5 to 11 is a great time to start MMA Judo.

Part 2 of what is the best age to start MMA Judo.

It's this age that the kids begin to learn specific skills of
self defense and self confidence.

It's also usually here that the kids either become bullies,
bystanders or the bullied...

I've had to counsel kids in all of these categories.

I can tell you from personal experience being in any of these
categories can be pretty devastating to a kid.

======
Tip #1
Anyone can be bullied.
======

First of all let's define bullying so we put the right solution
to the right problem.

Bullying has four components to it:
  1. an imbalance of power
  2. threats of further aggression
  3. an intent to harm
  4. the above three points lead to terror

And I do mean terror. Some kids being bullied will
avoid going to school. Kids will begin to wet their beds,
grades will drop.

If your kid is a bully, YOU are going to suffer because you
will find yourself in the Principal's office defending this
kid over and over again or worse at the Police station.

=====
Tip #2
Confidence is the beginning of being able to avoid a bully.
=====

I have many examples of students who were being bullied
then developed the confidence to put a plan into action and
stop the bullying, when even the adults around seemed to be
at a loss of what to do.

In the next part I am going to talk with you about how bullying
takes place and why the wrong kid is often punished.

God Bless.
