6. Incorrect Strategies to Cope with Bullying Problems

Forward

Parents of young bullies do not have to hide behind the problem. They should not simply think: "it's a joke, it's nonsense\”. Only by recognizing that the child may be wrong you can really help him/her. The mistake that the teacher should not make is to show lack of interest , put up a wall of indifference, because the kids, even if they themselves will never admit it, do not accept adults' carelessness. Often kids do provocative actions just to see how far they can go. From this point of view it would be wrong to be too good. Instead, as an educating family, you have to perform well the task: fixing rules and setting limits . It would be wrong, for the parents, to be on the same level of the guys, just claiming to be their friends. Kids have their own friends, on the contrary, they need someone to tell them what to do and remind them what the rules are. Kids, in fact, unconsciously expect that someone fixes limits, or they will not even be able to develop their own internal limits.
