Adopted kids can be more sensitive and easily upset.
I'm adopted and bullies often made my young life a misery back in the 70's.
Kids have always picked on others who are different.
But today's youth have smart phones too.
They can turn their mobile devices into weapons of mass misery.
So your child can't escape even when the school day is over.
I know that you do NOT want bullies or cyberbullies to make your child's life a misery.
So here's the REALLY good news:
You do NOT have to let that happen:
You can immunise your child against emotional cruelty, name calling and taunts.
I started working with 8 to 11 year olds in 2013.
I discovered how to stop bullies and cyberbullies upsetting other kids.
So those kids become protected like teflon.
So words don't stick to them like eggs don't stick to a non-stick pan.
So that old saying about sticks and stone actually becomes true - words do NOT hurt them.
The first proof was a 10 year old little girl who'd stopped going to dance class because the others were bullying her.
She told me - in no uncertain terms - that she was going BACK to dance class because of what she'd learned with me.
She'd discovered the inner strength to rise above their taunts.
The proof came fast and furious after that.
I've worked with 1600 kids.
Watch the video below to hear what some of them say.
Then book a free place on this webinar to learn how to make your child bullyproof.
So they are immune to bullies and cyberbullies.
And get a free Jack Cherry comic `to read with your child to help you with that process.
PS About me
I'm a 55 year old British adoptee born in Wrexham, Clywd, Wales adopted by parents in Wetherby, West Yorkshire, England in February 1967.
It was a closed adoption through the (now defunct) Lancashire & Cheshire Child Adoption Council in Liverpool.
I was adopted at 5 weeks old and told about it so young I don't ever remember not knowing.
Bullying aside my childhood and teenage years were largely happy.
Failing my driving test twice and ups and downs about girls but just usual adolescent stuff.
I didn't (consciously) experience any adoption trauma until I hit 40 when I found out my childhood teddy bear was a gift from my birth mother.
This caused an eruption of anger, feeling rejected and unloved. That kickstarted a learning journey that led me to heal and then want to help others.
I didn't start my search for my adoptive mother until 2014 only to find out that she had died in 2002.
I did 7 years work with kids in primary schools, events with them and their parents outside schools and some one to one coaching too.
I created the Thriving Adoptees podcast in 2021 so guests can inspire listeners with their stories and empower them with their learnings.
