#44: Should I Talk to an Adult?




The Happy Student show

Summary: It can be hard for kids to know if what is happening online is actually cyberbullying and if it's serious enough that they should talk to an adult about it. Sometimes it's not full-fledged cyberbullying, but kids could still benefit from discussing it with an adult. In this episode, we go through Emily Weinstein's 6 Digital Stressors and discuss how to make your child more comfortable talking to you about them. Resources: Englander, E. (2015).
