Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior that involves intentional harm or harassment and has long-lasting negative effects on millions of children worldwide, both the victim and the bully. While there are many approaches to preventing bullying, behavioral science offers valuable insights into why children engage in bullying and how to prevent it. By understanding the underlying causes of bullying, parents, educators, and policymakers can take proactive steps to create safe and supportive environments for children.

In this episode of Raising Parents, host Dina Sargeant was joined by Jennifer Hancock, a bestselling author and founder of Humanist Learning Systems whose expertise lies in her ability to combine elements of dignity, compassion, and science-based techniques to address complex workplace challenges such as bullying, harassment, and discrimination.

Jennifer noted how bullying has led to many suicides in the US, emphasizing the importance of teaching children how to respond to bullying and the role of parenting behaviors in preventing bullying. They discussed the different types of parenting and how they can affect a child's response to bullying. Jennifer also highlighted the key to stopping bullying is to remove the reward that the bully is getting from their behavior.
