Gangs and Cults
Give Your Child a Safe Environment: Your child deserves to have a school environment that's free of bullying. Some parents feel children must learn to deal with bullies on their own, and learn to "stand up for themselves." We've heard parents say they don't want their boys to grow up to be "wimps." Be wary of this attitude. Imagine yourself being at work in a similar situation of harassment. You would hope, and rightly expect, that the people in charge would come to your aid. Your children deserve no less respect and protection from you. Strong and self-confident children don't push each other around; nor do they become that way from being pushed around. Help your child in the same way you would expect to be helped. Take the Time to Bond: Adolescent & Family Health published a study in its Winter 2000 issue that says children who feel closely attached to their families are less likely to behave violently than those who feel less close. The three measures of attachment: how well the adolescent feels the family understands him; how much attention he feels they pay to him; and how much fun time the family spends together. Also correlating with lower levels of violence: regular attendance of religious services.
