I'm horrified to think about how many domestic abused children are left locked in apartments with their domestic tyrants. They only have the opportunity to share their problem on social media.

Communication, only communication in which there is a desire and opportunity to express our requests, will save us. Emotional intelligence, those soft skills, include the ability to ask for what you need — help, feedback, advice, guidance.

I'm continuing my video blog, which has 1600 subscribers. This “season” consists of nine videos covering various aspects of bullying and countering it. I am grateful to my readers and subscribers for sharing their personal experience and case studies.

November 25 is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. I am absolutely convinced that it is necessary to return the law on domestic violence to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

And if he thought about it, he could have saved himself from trouble, or at least his misfortune wouldn't have taken him by surprise,” wrote artist Francisco Goya, showing how a heavy stove falls on a group of strange characters.

I receive letters from people who are being bullied at work, and more and more often I am convinced that workplace bullying is almost always inevitable where the main criterion for professionalism is employee loyalty - loyalty to the boss.

Dear parents, I congratulate you and your children on Children's Day! I would like to wish you to teach your children who face crisis situations to identify them and overcome them with the least loss for themselves.

What can we adults do to help our son or daughter empathize with someone else's child with special needs? And should you interfere in your children's relationships with such “strange” children?

Parents, if you are planning to spend a vacation with your children, then spend it with your children. Try to abandon the usual parental set: “Did you read it? Did you eat? Did you do your homework?
