[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 236781, member: 6546"] Janna-- What you are describing sounds very familiar--my daughter is also a bully, but she sees it more as enforcing rules. Unfortunately they are the rules of behavior that [I]she[/I] has determined should apply. And she will hit, pinch, call names because that is what she does when others do not comply. Early on, everyone advised us that the best thing to do would be to get her into Martial Arts as an outlet for her aggression--but boy did that backfire! She just ended up with more "moves" to use on the other kids. The best thing for difficult child has been having school counselors help her work through the social issues with other kids. Whenever difficult child has a conflict with another student, the counselors sit down with her and the other student and they try to help difficult child work out a solution to the problem without bullying. If it works, great! And if not, the school has actually reassigned kids to different classes, seats, whatever it takes to separate them and end the problem before it escalates. MyHrt--The most important thing would be to determine whether your child is bullying to be mean--or because he's trying to discipline other kids. If he is trying to be a disciplinarian, then social skills training is probably the way to go. --DaisyF [/QUOTE]
