How can parents help their children when faced with a
bully problem?
Self-Defense Expert Fred Degerberg says, "It's not
enough to go over options with children. Kids need to
be TRAINED in their options." Fred Degerberg uses the
12 Ways to Defeat a Bully system, which is taught in
his children's martial arts classes at Degerberg
Academy of Martial Arts. The 12 Ways to Defeat a
Bully system was developed by Dr. Terrance
Webster-Doyle, author of Why is Everybody Always
Picking on Me? (Education for Peace Publications)
Alex Jovica, Head Children's Instructor at Degerberg
Academy in Chicago said, "I ask kids in my class, what
if? What if you got into a situation where someone
was picking on you, what would you do? Then the
children say what they would do. I don't tell them
the answer, I guide them to the answer."
Children can use one or more of these options when
confronted by a bully:
1. Making friends.
Treat the bully as a friend instead of an enemy.
2. Using humor.
You can turn a threatening situation into a funny one.
3. Using trickery.
Use your creative imagination to resolve conflict.
4. Walking away.
Don't get into it - just walk away.
5. Agreeing with the bully.
Let insults go, without fighting back.
6. Refusing to fight.
The winner of a fight is the one who avoids it.
7. Standing up to the bully.
Stick up for yourself! Just say NO! to bullying.
8. Screaming/yelling.
A powerful shout can end conflict before it starts.
9. Ignoring.
Be like bamboo - bend like the wind.
10. Using authority.
Call a proper authority to help you defeat the bully.
11. Reasoning with the bully.
Use the most powerful tool you have, your brain.
12. Taking a karate stance.
Be a victor - not a victim!
With these options, children have many ways to resolve
the situation with a bully.
