[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course adults should step in to mitigate effects of bullying! Be kind to the child being bullied, and speak to the bullies about their behavior.

Part of me is mind boggled by this question, but the bigger part of me understands that far too many adults - including those in tbr education system - just don’t want to be bothered with this kind of character building.[/quote]

Thank you.

100 to step in and help especially at this age. How heartless to do anything different

This is what it means to be part of a community. What would you want someone to do if it was your kid crying in the corner.

I have done this also with a 6 year old girl (she wasn't paired with her friend of choice on the walk back from a field trip. I sat there with her and tried to calm her down and tell her she could play with her now and the teachers just choose. I know the mom, texted her. She thanked me and told me a bit about her kid and her kids feelings. This made it better when I left and the kid was sad but not sobbing anymore.[/quote]
