- Dealing with Bullies

It's inevitable that sooner or later our children will encounter bullies. What will you do, or have you done, to teach your children how to deal with being bullied? Have you ever intervened directly, or contacted other parents or school administrators? Let's talk about how we have or intend to deal with our children being bullied.

As far as I can remember, our Dad only intervened once. We had gone to a large hill to do some sledding. Some older kids were there and they wouldn't let us go down the hill. When we told Dad after we got home, he told us to get our sled. He went back with us. Nothing was said, he just stood there, and the older kids didn't say anything, and we got to go sledding.

There isn't a lot of bullying that happens in preschool, so we've been pretty lucky. The worst thing was that there was a little kid that was intent on biting everyone in the class. Although he met the actual age requirements, he's probably not yet matured enough to be in the class. After our son became one of his many victims, a few parents did talk to the teacher. It wasn't that we were worried or outraged by his behavior - he's three, that's what they do sometimes - but we wanted to know what steps the teacher was going to take.
The agreement that was reached is that the boy could stay in the school but a parent had to accompany him for a few weeks until he became more acclimated to the class. So far it's worked out well and there have been no more incidents.
I think in general, as long as the lines of communication between parents, teachers, and children can be kept open, it will remain a whole lot easier to deal with the issues that come up from bullying.

I've found that there is a temptation to extremes. Some parents simply avoid interacting at all, and others are so involved they become a drain on resources and a frustration to the educational process. Balance is key.
