Heather Dwyer Sadlier, Ed.D., associate professor in the Department of Education, wrote a column about bullying for the Journal Tribuneā€™s September 25 issue of its monthly Health & Wellness publication.

In ā€œStrategies for Addressing Bullying: Advice from Educators,ā€ Sadlier shared responses from area educators to three key questions: What advice can parents/families give to children about bullying? What actions do you wish parents/families would take if they have a child who is bullying or being bullied? What other information or advice about the issue would you like to communicate?

Sadlier addressed both ā€œregularā€ bullying as well as cyberbullying.

ā€œThe research is clear,ā€ explained Sadlier in the column, ā€œTo ignore bullying is to condone the behavior. With no intervention from a bystander, the bully feels empowered and, research shows, his/her behavior toward the targeted individual will inevitably escalate from words to physical action.ā€
