And you do need to try to teach the difference between right and wrong.

When there are issues between kids, bringing bullies and victims together is recommended.

Often there's some culpability on both parts, and there's almost always a LOT of misunderstanding, so the meetings are good.

In general...when you encounter a "bully" , do you find they just do it once then go away? pkdu Sep 2013 #3

I don't do that. But if a kid was spraying another kid with Raid, I'd take away the can of Raid. NYC_SKP Sep 2013 #4
