Michigan Mama News Assistant Editor-Cynthia Tait

Victims of bullying and other early trauma may carry emotional scars into adulthood, explains Dr. Brad, author of the bestselling book “The Emotion Code.” But adults can help reduce the trauma of bullying for young people by recognizing the warning signs and talking to them. These include:

1. Emotional upset, anxiousness, and sadness.
2. Frequent headaches and stomach aches.
3. Faking illness.
4. Unexplained injuries.
5. Changes in eating habits.
6. Poor sleep / frequent nightmares.
7. A drop in school performance.
8. Not wanting to go to school.
9. Sudden loss of friends.
10. Avoidance of social situations.
11. Low self-esteem.
12. Self-destructive behaviors including self-harm, running away, or talking about suicide. 

“If you see your child struggling with any of these issues, talk with him or her about what’s going on,” he says. “Talking with your children is the key both to preventing bullying, and to uncovering and soothing the emotional trauma it can cause.”
