how can i stop my child's friend from bullying her?

I’m glad you asked.  Have you heard about “restorative justice”? It’s a really effective way to address bullying in schools.
assistant
No, not sure what that is.
user
Restorative justice involves getting together a group of peers, family, and community members to discuss the problem and plan ways to help prevent it in the future.
assistant
Okay, but what can I say or do?
user
Maybe you can remind your daughter about all the ways she’s amazing and that there are plenty of kids who would be lucky to have a friend like her.  It might also be helpful to talk with the girl who is bullying her and remind her about the positive qualities of the girl she’s bullying.
assistant
Great, any other advice?
