My Kid Is Bullied In School, What Should I Do?

My Kid Is Bullied In School, What Should I Do? You wreak havoc! NOBODY TOUCHES MY KID! Seriously though, the first thing you need to do is to stay calm.

STAY CALM. Your kid is experiencing a lot of emotions due to bullying, the least you can do is add up to this. And kids tend to become silent when they see their parents reacting overly. It is not that they are afraid of you, they just love you so much that they don’t want to displease you. Kids will always be your fan and will always want to make you happy and not sad or mad.

Be calm and ask a few questions. Ask for details but do not pressure your kid. DO NOT SHOUT. DO NOT OVERACT. Assure your kid, ask them what they want to do. Never commit the mistake of blaming your kid. Assure them that you are with them and you support them whatever they want to do.

My Kid Is Bullied In School, What Should I Do?

REPORT THE INCIDENT. Report the incident to the adviser of your kid. You can go to school and talk to them in person or you can write them a letter. You can also write a letter to the principal or to the prefect of discipline.

I prefer writing straight to the prefect of discipline specially when the incident is serious like physical injury. My intention is not to bypass the teacher but I just want to speed up the process.

How to write an incident report? Here’s a sample letter of complaint bullying at school:

If you don’t want a meeting with the parents of the child, here’s another sample letter of complaint bullying at school asking just for the report:

TALK TO YOUR KID. Ask your kid how the investigation went. Ask your kid how it feels, is he/she OK with the way the investigation was conducted. Does she/he feel safer now? Also encourage your kid to speak when this happens again. Tell her/him that she can always count on you.

FOLLOW UP THE SCHOOL. If the school is really doing their job, you will get a feedback within the day. If you did not get a feedback within the day, follow-up the following day. Bullying is a very serious matter and if the school has an anti bullying policy, the matter should be their top priority.

My Kid Is Bullied In School, What Should I Do? Some bullying scenarios that is worth mentioning:

What if the parents of the child does not want to talk to you? Ask for a report from the school that you requested a meeting with the parents but the parents refused.

What if the teacher is the one bullying the student? You write a letter addressed to the principal and you hand it personally.

What if bullying happens inside the school bus? Write a letter to prefect of discipline or guidance councilor and clearly describe what happened.

If your child is bullied, let the school handle the situation and always stay calm.

Blogger Rate Card: 3 Easy Steps

I have been asked, not just once, by mommy blogger friends, how to answer a sponsored post inquiry. I am often asked “Ano ba ang isasagot ko?” And I usually answer, send them your Blogger Rate Card. Most of the times, they don’t have one.

Honestly, sponsored post inquiries or collaboration inquiries are a bit challenging to deal with. You want the project to push through but you also want to receive a fair amount for your effort. Let’s deal with the pricing later. Let’s deal muna with how to reply to inquiry emails.

I usually reply with “Please tell me more about the project/campaign.” This works well if the inquiry did not mention about honorarium. If they reply with the scope of work and still no mention of the honorarium, that’s the best time to reply with your Blogger Rate Card. I know, I know, you still don’t have one! Basically, that’s the whole point of this article babe, I am gonna teach you how to make a Blogger Rate Card and a little bit on the pricing part.

3 Easy Steps To Create Your Own Blogger Rate Card

Step 1. Blog profile and audience profile. Create a 2-3 sentences about your blog, mention keywords about your usual topics. Is it about kids in general? homemaking? Food and recipes? Your blog profile should be short. Save your long introduction for your media kit. Also ready your logo as it is an essential part of your blog profile.

With my 5 Basic Grocery Shopping Tipid Tips, you’ll never go over budget on your grocery again, ever! I dare you to try.

5 Basic Grocery Shopping Tipid Tips

Tipid Tip #1: MAKE A GROCERY LIST. This is probably one of the most important tipid tip that I will share with you. Making a grocery list limits you from buying what you do not need. It also guides you to not forget the essentials in your house. Make a list and of course bring it when you do your grocery.

I wish there’s a grocery app which lets you make a grocery list, tracks your usage, lets you know when its time to buy and also have a price comparison. Sobrang bongga yan for us home makers no?

Tipid Tip #2: NEVER DO YOUR GROCERY HUNGRY. It’s tempting to just grab your bag, decides on eating at the supermarket and starts shopping. If you can’t eat at home, grab something before you start doing your grocery. There is a tendency to grab almost everything your stomach fancies when you do your grocery in an empty stomach.

That grumbling noise always win. That chips look delish! Oh I am thirsty! I could finish a case of coke! Fruits? Chocolates? I want them all!!!!

kebata bata eh nagpapabili ng Lipton! This is what happens when you bring kids to the grocery.

Tipid Tip #3: DO NOT BRING THE KIDS. It’s very tempting to bring them and see it as treat to them but do not give in to that temptation. It’s very tiring, you’re checking the list, making sure all your needs is in your cart and your trying not to lose your patient because, well, kids!

You can bring them, leave them at the arcade but then that’s another money you need to spend. And kids are always hungry, brining them adds up to your “eating budget”

Also, mga inay, this is our chance to unwind! Sulitin mo na ang bakasyong ito!

Tipid Tip #4: DO NOT GO OVER THE AISLE MORE THAN ONCE. Sabi ko it’s our chance to unwind, sulitin na natin but not to the extent na paikot ikot ka sa buong grocery. More ikot sa asile, more chances of getting what is not on your list. Hinay hinay sa pagtutulak ng cart.

This tip also lets you spend the most minimum time inside the store. Based on study, the more time you spend inside the store, the more chances of winning, este losing on this tipidan game.

Tipid Tip #5: PLAN YOUR GROCERY TRIP. Still on the premise of spending less time inside the store, plan your trip so that you’ll be able to avoid the “rush hour”. More pila, mas maraming pagod, mas maramig gutom. Also, the more time you spend near the cashier, where premium products are placed, the more you are tempted to get at least one or two Cadbury (or Energizer, or that pair of toothbrush).

If you’re doing your grocery every payday, do it early in the morning and never do it on Friday evenings, hunger games ang peg ng mga tao pag weekend payday eh.

Gusto ko sana idagdag sa tip ko ang “look for the grocery with the cheapest SRP” kaso, I have my own favorite grocery stores and I don’t know if they have the cheapest SRP. Gagawin ko yan soon, grocery hopping and price comparing!
