Bullying is one of those topics that hits close to home for almost every parent—and it’s rarely simple. In this episode, Cynthia and Dr. Ken unpack the complex dynamics between the bully, the victim, and the bystander, helping us see that there’s always more beneath the surface. They talk about how bullying shows up in different forms—whether it’s physical, verbal, or online—and why it is important to understand the context and power dynamics involved. The conversation also touches on the challenges parents face in addressing bullying, the impact of social media, and the need for open communication with teenagers.
From managing the influence of social media to knowing when (and how) to step in, this conversation reminds us that our role as parents isn’t to fix everything—it’s to stay present and connect with our kids often.
