Back “in the day” all anyone had to do was suggest that I’d been mean to someone and I was in trouble. Yet these days I can tell a parent their child has done something out of line and they will look me in their eyes and somehow defend it or flat out tell me they couldn’t have!?!?!?! WHAT!?!?? If I saw it with my own eyes, how can you question me. If I don’t think I know all the details I will tell you. But if I sat and watched an entire intereatcion, how can I as the adult be questioned like that….this without even asking their child if they did what they are being accused of. IT IS MESSED UP!

Unfortunately, those who misbehave in that manner do get a lot of attention from their peers and I think that is important to remember. I think the ‘my child can do no wrong attitude’ can contribute to creating bullies because let’s face it even as adults we make bad decisions once in awhile. It doesn’t make a child “bad” when they call someone a name…they’re just testing what they can get away with.

She’s also 2 and that comes with the territory but definitely something to be aware of.

Great post! I know my daughter is not an angel by any means, but generally she’s a well-rounded, caring and intelligent individual. When it comes to bullying, there’s such a fine line. Many people know the common scenarios of what bullying is, but when it comes to saying harsh things to another child they don’t realize that’s bullying as well.

I applaud you for handling your daughter’s situation so well. I wished more parents would open their eyes and believe all kids (including their own) are capable of being bullies.
