[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what if your kid asks you to get involved, like to speak up on her behalf if she’s being bullied? I typically do not like to get involved, but do I have to if my child asks me too?[/quote] Op here who is still learning so others can chime in too. I think we can help, but stay practical and objective. For me it’s trying not absorb the emotions. (I’m a total empath so this is difficult!). We actually had a situation like you mention. Not bullying but a boy at school was making her uncomfortable. I got involved and treated it like my job - a problem to troubleshoot with with a team (the school). But that’s also my personality - if I have something I can DO, I have a place to more productively direct my energy. Game face on and I get to work. It’s when it’s things that are not necessarily fixable or she doesn’t want me to get involved but is still so upset, then I tend to spiral a bit. [/quote]
