Express Yourself

One effective way to fight the negative effects of bullying is to encourage creativity and self-expression. We can embrace children’s creativity using their talents or hobbies. Children’s creativity can help them move past the hurtful experiences they went through and develop their self-esteem.

Creativity can help children convey their emotions and feelings. When children participate in creative activities, they lose themselves in creating art rather than dwelling over their negative experiences. Creative hobbies can include writing, drawing, dancing, or playing music. According to wea.org.uk, fun hobbies were proven to raise your self-esteem, confidence, and mental health.

Overall, the scars of bullying can be deep, but uncovering a child’s creativity and self-expression offers a meaningful path toward healing. Uncovering children’s creativity can build their confidence, and help them connect with themselves. By creating an environment that prioritizes creativity, we can help children recover from the trauma they faced and help them Form Bonds.
