Moms Talk: Bullying

Moms Talk is a new feature on Garden City Patch, part of a new initiative on our Patch sites to reach out to moms and families.

Garden City Patch invites you and your circle of friends to help build a community of support for mothers and their families right here in Garden City.

Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community will have a new resource for questions about local neighborhood schools, the best pediatricians, 24-hour pharmacies and the thousands of other issues that arise while raising children.

Moms Talk will also be the place to drop in for a chat about the latest parenting hot topic. Where can we get information on local flu shot clinics for children? How do we talk to our children about difficult issues? How can we help our children's schools weather their budget cutbacks?

So grab a cup of coffee and settle in as we start the conversation today with this topic: Bullying - how to recognize it, how to talk to your child about it, how to help your child deal with the bullies in his or her life.
