Bullying is something that can happen to anyone-kids, teens, or adults. Parents of children affected by ectodermal dysplasias often worry that their kids might be bullied because they look different. But not every child with ectodermal dysplasia will be bullied, and sometimes kids get picked on for other reasons, too.
Bullying does not only occur with children. Adults can be bullied, too.
In this article written by Patricia K. Marik, PsyD, a pediatric psychologist, you will learn what bullying is, the warning signs to watch for, and how to respond if your child is being bullied.
Bullying means someone keeps doing or saying mean things to hurt another person, especially someone smaller, younger, or weaker. It can come in different forms. You will learn about:
- Verbal bullying
- Physical bullying
- Relational bullying
- Cyberbullying
Sometimes, it may be your child who is bullying another child. Dr. Marik provides helpful suggestions on how to talk through the situation to better understand why your child is behaving this way. Learn practical tips for how to handle bullying and ectodermal dysplasias.
