What to Do if Your Child Engages in Online Gaming Bullying

Tracy Waasdorp wrote a blog for Psychology Today where she outlined ways to recognize bullying behavior in online gaming environments and recommends strategies to address children who may be engaging in bullying online, including:

  • Stay calm and focus on behavior, not labeling your child
  • Ask questions to understand what happened and why.
  • Teach empathy and explain the real impact of online words.
  • Set clear expectations for respectful gaming conduct.
