Ignoring the situation or telling them not to worry about it can minimize their feelings and make them feel unheard. Bullying can have serious emotional and psychological effects on children, so it is crucial to address the issue and involve the school authorities who can take appropriate measures to ensure the safety and well-being of your child. Encouraging them to bully back is not a productive or ethical solution to the problem.

Turning off their computer and walking off is an abrupt and dismissive response that does not address the underlying issue. Asking them what's wrong allows for open communication and the opportunity to help them find a solution or offer comfort.
