Did You Find It Hardest to Go from 1 Kid to 2, or 3+?

Some parents say the biggest transition is going from one child to two, while others say it’s the Wild West when you get to three or more (the logic is, you no longer have a hand per child at that point). What say you? Was going from one kid to two the most challenging, or did you find adding a third was a new level of bonkers?

My Kid is the Schoolyard Bully. What Can I Do?

Oof. This is a tough one. No one wants to believe that their child is mistreating other kids. But the first step to fixing the problem? Admit there is one. If your child is consistently getting called on the carpet for mean or disrespectful behaviour, it can be tempting to look for someone or something else to blame. But if you acknowledge the issue and put steps in place to address it, your child will be better off in the long run. Read on for advice on how to move toward a solution.

• Calmly talk to your child about their behaviour and ask them what is causing them to want to act in this way. Big feelings can manifest in many ways, so your child may be upset or sad without a way to express the emotion.

• Work on empathy at home. Talk to your child about how it feels to be bullied.

• Look at your household. Could behaviour between parents or siblings be influencing your child?

• Don’t just assume it’s a phase that will pass, and seek help if you need to. A school guidance counsellor may have resources you can access.
