Is your child suffering in silence? Practical help for parents of bullied children.

One in five students experiences bullying—but the real number is likely higher, because many kids never tell their parents what's happening. If your child is coming home quieter, reluctant to go to school, or showing signs of withdrawing, this episode is for you.

Bryce and Colette Schaffer have walked through bullying with their own three children, witnessed it countless times as teachers and coaches, and counseled families through it as pastors. They bring raw honesty about their own kids' experiences in a small-town school and share both biblical truth and practical wisdom for helping your child navigate this painful season.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Warning signs your child might be facing bullying (even when they're not talking about it)
How to stay calm and be the steady presence your child needs
Building your child's identity and worth in Christ—not in others' opinions
The balance between protecting your child and avoiding helicopter parenting
Answering hard theological questions: "Why would God let this happen?"
Specific strategies for verbal bullying, physical bullying, and cyberbullying
When to involve teachers, principals, or authorities
Why "hurting people hurt people"—and what that means for your response
Scripture prayers to speak over your child
How God can redeem even the most painful seasons

Key truth: Your child's worth isn't defined by what the bully says—it's anchored in what God says. "You are fearfully and wonderfully made" (Psalm 139:14). "God is close to the brokenhearted" (Psalm 34:18).

Whether your child is in elementary school, middle school, or high school, whether they're dealing with classroom bullies or cyberbullying, this episode will equip you with both the spiritual foundation and practical tools to help them walk through this valley—with God's strength and your steady support.

You are not alone. God sees. God grieves. And God will walk with you through this.
