Family Cyberbullying Action Plan

Name: __________________________________________________

What I Learned About Cyberbullying Today

Cyberbullying is different from playground bullying because:

________________________________________________________________________

The warning signs I will watch for in my child:

☐ Sudden change in mood after using their phone

☐ Not wanting to go to school

☐ Becoming secretive about online activities

☐ Changes in sleep or appetite

☐ Withdrawal from friends or family

☐ Declining grades

☐ Suddenly deleting apps or accounts

My Response Plan: LISTEN → THANK → SAVE → SOLVE

If my child tells me they are being cyberbullied, I will:

LISTEN:

Let them speak without interrupting. Stay calm. Don’t show shock or anger.

THANK:

Say: “Thank you for telling me. I’m proud of you. This is NOT your fault.”

SAVE:

Take screenshots of ALL messages, posts, and interactions before anything is deleted.

SOLVE:

Together, decide: Block the bully. Report to the platform. Contact school if needed.
