Parents - What to do next

• Be supportive and responsive.
• Be a positive role model for your child, other players and the parents around you by:
  • setting a positive example
  • reinforcing good behaviour when it occurs
  • helping your child (and their friends) understand bullying behaviour and strategies for dealing with it should it occur
  • speaking up if you see instances of bullying
  • encouraging your child to speak up.
• Act - if you notice bullying behaviour, irrespective of whether it involves your child or not, bring it to the attention of the coach or the administrator.
