How can parents and schools coordinate a response to bullying, and what outcomes should they check?
This trial directly studies parent–school cooperation against bullying. It shows why better adult alignment and actual child outcomes should be assessed separately.
Who was studied?
Dutch schools implementing KiVa, with teacher, parent, and child data.
Age / stage: Primary school grades 3–6
Read with three questions
- What did the added parent–school intervention include?
- Which adult attitudes or efforts improved?
- Which child bullying, victimization, and well-being outcomes did not change?
Keep the limits in view
No intervention effects were found on children’s self-reported bullying, victimization, well-being, or self-esteem. The short trial and KiVa context limit broader claims.
