When Bryn's son was in grade 5, his former best friend was a covert bully and turned all of the boys in the class against him. She was determined to figure out how to solve this bullying problem, I knew she had to help her child because the school wasn’t going to.

She felt like a bad mom because she had no idea that I even needed to bully proof her child. If Bryn had bully proofed her child in advance, she would have saved my son a lot of stress and heartache.

Our family created a plan of action to turn the bullying situation around. I run the largest self defense web site in the world, and help adults defend themselves when they are verbally bullied.

Traditional methods of don’t say anything back to the bully made the situation worse. The bully doubled down on our child when he didn’t respond.

I taught my son how to use the most awesome responses when kids picked on him. He slayed his bully with words in front of the class, and all of a sudden the bullying stopped. Now my son knew what to say and how to say it, he was no longer a bully magnet at school.

I dug a little deeper to understand why certain kids get picked on and the psychology behind social status and how it works. Using the methods I learned, we rebuilt our son’s confidence, and focused on ways he could shine and regain social status with his peers. We filled our son up with so much confidence that he became a leader in his class, and was able to graduate a year early from high school.

​I have now helped hundreds of families turn bullying situations around when their kids have been targeted. If you bully proof your child in advance, you can ensure that your child isn’t an easy target for bullies at school
