"Not all wounds bleed. Some grow silently inside a child."
Bullying is not just playground teasing. It's a silent trauma that leaves invisible scars—on identity, self-worth, trust, and emotional safety.
Whether it comes from family, schoolmates, or even adults in positions of power, childhood bullying can shape a child's entire worldview.
And often, the adults around them don't even see it—or worse, misinterpret it as weakness, rebellion, or attention-seeking.
Invisible Wounds is a deeply insightful and practical guide that explores the real impact of bullying on children—and what parents, educators, and society must do to prevent, respond, and heal it.
📍 This book answers essential questions like:
"Is my child being bullied—even if they're not saying it?"
"How do I protect my child without overreacting?"
"What should I do if the bully is a family member or teacher?"
"How can I help my child develop resilience and self-protection?"
"How do I stop my own child from becoming a bully?"
Each chapter tackles a different form of bullying—emotional, physical, verbal, social—and addresses real-life situations drawn from both family and school environments.
Grounded in developmental psychology, child advocacy, and trauma theory, the book provides:
✅ Early warning signs most adults miss
✅ Intervention strategies that actually help
✅ What not to say to a bullied child
✅ Tools for rebuilding emotional safety and self-esteem
✅ Guidance for schools and families to work together—not in silence, but in solidarity
🧩 Children may not always speak—but they show their wounds.
We must learn to see them, name them, and respond with more than just sympathy—with action, compassion, and informed presence.
🎯 If you're a parent, teacher, or anyone who works with children, this book will help you become the ally every child needs when facing silent battles.
