The Scary Guy does parents
Description
Find out how parents react to The Scary Guy's coping strategies, as he works with a whole family to reinforce the anti-bullying message both in and out of school. Macclesfield High School invited The Scary Guy to deliver a group session to parents, looking at how to deal with those issues. In the session, The Scary Guy stresses the importance of parents making time to listen to their child. Meanwhile, the school identifies a pupil who has been bullied in the past. After a one-to-one session, where The Scary Guy hears what he went through, he visits the parents to hear their experience of supporting him through his ordeal. During the session, it is revealed that the bullying started earlier than they thought, and Scary gently explains to them that this is often the case; bullied children don't talk for fear of escalating the situation. Scary then offers them strategies to enable them to talk more openly with their children and to deal with any future bullying that may occur.
