[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes the older children are naturally more mentally/socially advanced and take on the role of the dominant kids (which is different than being a true leader). They end up "leading" the bullying of younger kids b/c they can and they notice that they can dominate other kids. It's not that they are bad kids, but if you go to any playground, you see the "Lord of the Flies" behavior. I've seen it several times when the child was either held back or had a very early birthday (i.e. Sept.). These kids seem like they are very successful in their "held-back grade" but they might be better off with a peer group that is more equal for them (i.e. the grade they should have been in) so they learn not to dominate but to cooperate instead.
