What if your child is the Bully?

It’s a question no parent wants to ask.

We rightly focus on supporting children who are bullied. But if we really want to stop bullying, we also need to understand the child doing it.

Anger? Jealousy? Fear? Insecurity? A need to belong or feel powerful?

Understanding the reason doesn’t excuse the behaviour. It gives us somewhere to start changing it.

Every emotion is allowed. Every behaviour isn’t.

Support the child being bullied. Stop the bullying. And don’t give up on the child doing it.
