The Bullying Challenge: A Close LookAt Its Effects On The Black ChildBullying is an obvious fact that there

are some very serious problems thathave surfaced as a result of bullying,especially as it affects the Black child,particularly when the bullying isracism. Racism is the epitome of bul-lying. Bullying greatly affects the ability of the child-bullies

and their victims alike. It impedes academic progress,affects their well-rounded social and emotional devel-opment. This piece will look at some common issuesas it relates to bullying and the ways a parent can helptheir child when they are victims of such acts.The cyber-bullying challengeCyber bullying is regrettably on the increase and this

has become a sore spot for many Black children. An October 2014 study by the Pew Research Cen-

ter states that 18 percent of all Black children who usethe Internet have been negatively targeted. Therehave been cases of stalking, threats of physical harm,sexual harassment and other severe forms of harass-ment. Another 22 percent have suffered from less se-vere attacks like name calling or being embarrassed.The National Center for Education Statistics and Bu-

reau of Justice found that over 2 million black kids hadexperienced cyber-bullying (based on its 2010-2011report). The Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance, 2013 survey

showed that 15 percent of Black high school students

were bullied electronically. The Online College report states that one in five

cyber-bullied kids think about suicide while one in 10actually attempts to commit suicide. These reportshave been strongly linked to racial discrimination andthe apathy with which society has risen to fight thisscourge.What schools got to do with this?Bullying in schools has caused a host of negative

physiological effects on the Black child. It affects theiracademic performance and alters their perception ofschool. Sadly, the societal norms and stereotypes canmake schools unsafe for Black children. This challenge has been discovered to be rooted in

the presence of racism in society rather than beingthe general climate in most schools. Finding the rightways to reduce bullying in schools or protect the Blackchild is becoming increasingly complex.It is time to ask the right questionsIn order to fully understand the effects of bullying on

the Black child, it is important that administrators arecalled to action and time to ask some hard questionsso we can fully get to the root of this menace.Who are those executing these acts?Who are the victims?Why is the Black child the target of their bullying

acts?What are the ways in which the Black child is bul-

lied?What is the solution to the issues of racism and the

bullying of the Black child?Most Black children who are victims of bullying often

suffer from a lifetime of psychological scars. They alsoface a long run with poor academic performance. Bul-

lied Black students are more likely to fall behind, missschool or eventually drop out.What can you do as a Parent?Parents or guardians of Black children can play a

huge role in ensuring that they are protected from bul-lying and harassment.Alert school administrators immediately.Teach your child that they are unique and can be all

they are destined to be.Know that the goal of the bully is to create negativity.

Build your child’s positive self-esteem and help yourchild to rise above this scourge.They can teach their children values that help to

break long-held racial and ethnic stereotypes.Speak with the bully’s parents.Remind your child that bullies try to break down oth-

ers so they can feel good about themselves.Approach the Home and School Association or Par-

ent Teacher Association about creating a Bully-FreeSchool Zone, including having staff who are trainedto intercept and protect victims.Referenceshttp://neatoday.org/2011/09/07/bullying-takes-toll-

Already, about 8.8million Americans,and 190,542 Wiscon-sinites, who buyhealth insurancethroughHealthCare.gov re-ceive tax credits thathelp make coveragemore affordable. But about 12 million more

Americans, including 144,000Wisconsinites, may also be el-igible for help during this OpenEnrollment, but not know it.This group includes:· Current HealthCare.gov

consumers: 6,000 Wisconsinconsumers who didn’t get taxcredits last year could be eligi-ble for tax credits in 2017, evenif their income remains thesame, because financial assis-tance moves along with rates. That’s 17 percent of currently

unsubsidized Wisconsin Mar-ketplace consumers.· Off-Marketplace individual

consumers: About 51,000 Wis-consinites who currently payfull price for individual cover-age off-Marketplace could beeligible for tax credits if theypurchase a 2017 plan throughHealthCare.gov instead.· The remaining uninsured:

About 87,000 uninsured Wis-consinites earn incomes indi-cating they, too, could beeligible for financial assistance. Nationwide, 84 percent of

Marketplace-eligible uninsuredAmericans have incomes sug-gesting they are tax credit eligi-

ble.In Wisconsin, 62,809 people

have already signed up for cov-erage in the first month ofOpen Enrollment, more thanlast year at this time. But many more Wiscon-

sinites might benefit from visit-ing HealthCare.gov before theDecember 15th deadline forJanuary 1 coverage andchecking out their options foraffordable, quality health insur-ance.Affordable by design. The

Marketplace’s tax credits aredesigned to keep pace withpremium increases. This means that for many

consumers already receivingtax credits, the value of that fi-nancial assistance will increasethis year to keep pace with thecost of coverage in their area.It also means that more individ-uals may qualify for tax creditsas premiums rise. For people eligible for finan-

cial assistance, the ACA speci-fies the share of income theconsumer is expected to con-tribute toward health coverage. The tax credits make up the

difference between thatamount and the actual cost ofa consumer’s benchmark (sec-ond-lowest-cost silver) plan.For example, in 2017, a 27-

year old in Wisconsin making$25,000 per year will pay $142per month to purchase thebenchmark plan, almost ex-actly the same as in 2016. That’s because the 27-year

old will, on average, get a $162tax credit – 36 percent higher

than in 2016.Check out your options.

The Marketplace is open forbusiness, and HHS is encour-aging anyone who might needcoverage next year to visitHealthCare.gov and check outtheir options before the De-cember 15 deadline for cover-age that starts January 1. Millions of Americans could

be surprised to find out they’reeligible for financial assistance

this year, even if they weren’tlast year, giving them afford-able, quality options to choosefrom. Visit HealthCare.gov to

browse and shop for quality, af-fordable health plans. Morethan 63 percent of current Wis-consin Marketplace consumerswill find plans for less than $75per month, and the vast major-ity can save by coming back toactively shop instead of waiting

to be re-enrolled in their currentplan. The state-by-state tables

below show the number of con-sumers nationally who couldbenefit in 2017 from the finan-cial assistance Marketplace taxcredits provide. If these consumers were to

take advantage of the help of-fered on HealthCare.gov, theycould find affordable, qualityoptions.

When It Came ToBreastfeeding, BlackMoms Knew BestStatistics have shown that there is a widening gap be-

tween Black and White breastfeeding initiation rates. Itmoved from 24 percentage points in 2000 to 16 percentagepoints in 2008. As if this is not enough, Black infants have been discov-

ered to have the lowest rates of breastfeeding initiation andduration. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention’ states that only 62% of Black babies born in theUS in 2010 started breastfeeding, compared to 79% ofWhite babies. After six months, only 36% were still breastfed, compared

to 52% of White babies. We need to take a look at Blackmothers nursing in a historical context. “When blacks came

to this country, they breastfed their babies and often [slave]masters’ babies,” said Monique Sims-Harper, director of AMore Excellent Way Health Improvement Organization anda spokeswoman for the California Breastfeeding Coalition,“after slavery ended, black women often continued to workas wet nurses for white families.” They were the experts inthe field. So the question arises, why black women havesuddenly stopped breastfeeding their children?In the African-American community, breastfeeding rates

happens to be the lowest; these may be due to some rea-sons. In Los Angeles, Krystal Nicole Duhaney, owner of Milky

Mama, the only lactation treats company owned by anAfrican-American woman, it was noticed that improving thehealth of African-American mothers and babies require on-going and collaborative efforts organizations and individu-als involved in Black mothers’ lives, especially in areaswhere extended breastfeeding is not a common practice.She is passionate about breastfeeding for African-Americanbabies. Breastfeeding can be difficult at times for all moms.

Duhaney admits there were some difficult times, particularlywhen she went back to work with being consistent withbreastfeeding. “When I returned to work after having my son, I noticed

a decrease in my supply due to stress,” she says. But aftergetting armed with her family’s lactation cookies, Duhaneynoticed her milk supply increased. Following the birth of hersecond child, a baby girl, Krystal was prepared to preemptany potential problems.“After the birth a child, moms need support and guid-

ance,” she says Duhaney. She wishes to bring awarenessto the benefits of breastfeeding while also taking head-onthe issue of shaming nursing moms in public. She is alsoempowering mothers to breastfeed their babies wheneverand wherever, since it is an act of love and nutriment fortheir child.With breastfeeding awareness and Black moms like

Duhaney bringing awareness to nursing, the number ofBlack mothers breastfeeding their babies is expected to in-crease.--article courtesy of successfulblackparenting.com


It’s Okay ToRaise BlackBoys-To-Men WithEmotionsIn the summer of 2003, I be-

came pregnant with my first childwhile planning my wedding to mythen fiancé. When I discovered I was having

a son, I feared that as he grewolder I wouldn’t know what I couldteach him about being a man. Fast forward to the spring of

2004 when my son was finallyborn, I remember holding him, justwanting to protect him. Knowingthere would be nothing I wouldn’tdo for him. I kept telling myself that it was

going to be okay being a singlemom, but was it?

I found out early that I wouldneed to be that man that his fatherrefused to be. It’s funny thestrength we find in the face of cer-tain obstacles. Have you ever triedpotty training a male child? Everytime I instructed him on what todo, he’d listen and then do whathe saw me do. I tried everythingincluding target practice with FruitLoops in the toilet. Even though he mimicked me,

at eighteen months he was fullypotty trained. It still took a while forhim to stand when urinating.I’ve been a single mom for

twelve years now, though it wasn’tby choice. I am a mother; unlikethe mother I knew. Every day washard. We’ve been homeless twice. I

spent many nights waiting for myson to go to bed so that I could cry. I didn’t want him to see me fall

apart. My son is now twelve-years-old and is an honor student.It has been extremely hard at

times but, also very rewarding. Inthe face of many obstacles, I kept

going. I took part time jobs. I started a

business. I lived. As parents, wetend to feel like we’re not doingenough but one thing I learnedmany years ago, is that you areyour child’s first teacher. My son saw me struggle every

step of the way and because it hasalways been just the two of us,wehave a very strong bond. I have always encouraged him

to express how he feels. One day

on what felt like the worst day ofmy life, he came home fromschool and just hugged me. He told me that he thought I was

the strongest person he knew. Heknew there was nothing he himselfcould not achieve, because of mefollowing my dreams. Wow! I’dmanaged to raise this beautifulhuman being who has respect,manners, love and emotions. I’d feared raising him to be too

emotional in a society where men

have historically been thought ofas tough and macho. In the end, itis more important to raise a well-rounded human being by remov-ing gender-types from yourequation. I know I still have his teenage

years to go, but I do believe thestrong foundation I built with himwill endure throughout his life-time.--Article by ShannenAzuredee via successfulblack-parenting.com


Black Babies Are At Risk Of Dying From SIDS

Sudden Instant DeathSyndrome also knownas SIDS is the suddenand unexplained deathof a healthy infant whois younger than one-year-old.

It’s a very terrifying phenome-non because unlike other dis-eases and illnesses it does nothave any warning symptoms. SIDS usually occurs between

the ages of two and five monthsand is more prevalent in babies ofAfrican descent. Studies show that African-Amer-

ican infants are twice as likely andNative American infants are aboutthree times more likely to die fromSIDS.

The babies die in their sleepwhich has given the syndrome thenickname Crib Death.SIDS claims the lives of about

2,500 each year in the UnitedStates alone. In Africa, SIDS killsmore babies because the aware-ness is very low. A lot of research has been done

on SIDS to find the causes andpreventive measures that can beused to save babies from this un-predictable fate. The hypothesized cause of Crib

Death is the blockage of airwaysof a baby or inhaling its own ex-haled air while it’s asleep. A fewprecautions can be taken to pre-vent SIDS.Black families often follow tradi-

tional child rearing advice that isthe opposite what the AmericanAcademy of Pediatrics recom-mends. We tend to put our infants to bed

on their stomachs and even intro-duce cereal in a baby bottle beforethe infant is at the stage of devel-opment to start solid foods in orderto get the baby to sleep throughthe entire night.

In a campaign called Back toSleep, the recommended way toput babies to sleep is known asthe “supine position.” This justmeans babies are to be put ontheir backs to sleep instead of ontheir stomachs. This reduces thenumber of babies who die fromSIDS. Another precaution that should

be taken to reduce the chances ofSIDS is keeping all stuffed toysand pillows away from babieswhen they sleep to prevent themfrom breathing their own carbondioxide, which is in their exhaledbreath.Avoiding smoking before or after

childbirth is another preventivemeasure for SIDS because may

affect their central nervous sys-tem. Infants of mothers whosmoke during pregnancy are threetimes more likely to die of SIDS. Also researchers believe that

breastfeeding may help protectbabies from infections that in-crease the risk of SIDS. Breast milk being the healthiest

type of milk for babies is alwaysbest.Pre-and-postnatal care is be-

lieved to be another way to pre-vent SIDS. Babies who have regular check-

ups have a lower chance of dyingfrom SIDS. Researchers also rec-ommend that babies sleep with apacifier. It should not be forced onthe child though.

If the child is uncomfortable withthe pacifier it’s fine to discontinueusing it. Also keep your baby close by

when the baby sleeps but alwayson a firm mattress in a crib andkeep the temperature cool. Warm babies have a higher risk

of SIDS as they sleep deeperwhen they are warm making it dif-ficult to wake up.The research for Sudden Instant

Death Syndromes is still in theearly stages. Babies less than one-year

should be cared for with extremecare and precaution.--Articlecourtesy of successfulblack-parenting.com
