Children Learn to Stand Up for Themselves from Marloes and Succeed
Marloes van Tetering runs a local after-school program in Waalwijk where children learn to handle bullying, including online harassment. Through interactive discussions and role-playing exercises, participants like 11-year-old Isa gain confidence in difficult situations. Van Tetering, who also advises municipalities and schools on cyberbullying, emphasizes that bullying often occurs both offline and online among acquaintances. She advises parents to engage with their children’s digital interests, such as asking about game levels, to foster open communication. The program concludes with a celebration, marking the students' improved ability to speak up against peer pressure.
