PART 1

Hello Parents and Families, Summer is over, and the school year is here! Can you believe it? We hope your family’s school year is starting off well. Your family has been in our prayers as we head back into the school year.

One of the ways we have been praying specifically for your child is over the issue of relationship. We pray that they find great friends and make good positive connections with others. The other prayer of our hearts is on the other end of things, with the issue of bullying. As you know as parents, it is continuing to be an issue, even in the younger years.

Now in the modern age, bullying has gone digital. You have probably heard the term in books, on the news, and even online. Cyberbullying is on the rise even in the younger years. It is our prayer that God will protect the mind, heart, and spirit of your child from cyberbullies as well.

This month’s Partnering with Parents topic is perfect for this time of year because it covers that very important topic - “Cyberbullying”. We are excited to be able send it along for you to watch. Please take time to pray and consider the 5 extremely helpful hints presented in this month's video.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

PART 2

Hello Parents and Families,

We hope this note finds you well and you are enjoying your back to school season! What a wonderful time of year. It is also nice to be getting back into a more regular rhythm of life.

With everyone now back to school, this month’s Partnering wth Parents comes at a perfect time. It is all about “Cyberbullying.”

What great hints to consider! Here are couple questions & discussion starters to help you have some discussions at home with your children:

  1. Talk about the Issue: “Do you know what cyberbullying is…?”
  2. Help kids have healthily tech habits: “Do you think I spend too much time on my phone around the house…?”
  3. Maintain access to social media accounts: “Let’s talk about social media and when we are going to allow you to have an account…”
  4. Check in with your kids: “Have you ever experienced someone bullying you or saying something mean online…”?
  5. If your child comes to you, take it seriously: “You know that you can always talk to me about anything, and I will listen…”

This is becoming a big issue in the lives of children and teens. We will continue to pray for your children. Please let us know if you need more help with this topic.

Praying for you,

The NAC USA Family Ministry Team
