[QUOTE="Andy, post: 148035, member: 5096"] When my easy child was younger, there was a girl in her class who usually played alone. I talked to the teacher to find out if this girl was o.k. in playing alone and/or if my daughter has done anything to make her feel left out. Turns out she did like to play alone and the other kids, including my daughter, were not picking on her. I have kept a close eye on difficult child for possible bully tendencies - I honestly thought at one point that he could grow up to be a bully so I worked hard to make sure he didn't get the chance to bully or didn't get away with bullying. At this point I feel comfortable that he is not a bully. I say the above because we all hope our children are not victims of bullys, however, how many people really make sure their kids do not turn into bullys? Although I am sure some bullys have parents who are aware and frustrated, I believe most parents don't have a clue. Bullys can be very subtle and true angels when parents and other adults are around. Those who are not angels around adults don't care if they themselves get in trouble, their goal is to inflict pain as a show of power, who cares if they also get grounded, it is fun to hurt the other kid. I hear parents talk about teaching their children what to do when bullied but never hear of parents making sure their child is not a bully. How can we get everyone to be just as concerned with their child being a bully as they are with them being bullied? I believe there are syptoms to watch for if someone is the victim of a bully. Is there a list of symptoms that make a bully? This second list needs to be shared with parents. [/QUOTE]
