[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good luck with this.  My little brother was bullied horribly in elementary school, and I wished my parents did something about it.[/quote]

Thank you. Won't happen here. I push back and so does my kid.[/quote]

How do you teach your kid to push back?  I've got a 3 year old, so I have some time before middle school, but as someone who was bullied for years without ever being taught how to stand up for myself, I'd like to give my daughter the tools she'll need.  I push back now, but it was a long, difficult road figuring out how, and I didn't really get it down until I was an adult.  I'd like to spare my daughter that.  What did you do?[/quote]

They have to first try to ignore, but then get enough crazy in their eyes that the bullies think they are going to be struck  :mrgreen:  My son stood up with fire in his eyes and looked as if he was going to cream the kid. He put his hands out as if to shove him - in the past he HAS shoved a friend of the family's kid who sometimes acts like a bully on the playground. The kid looked surprised and said "I didn't do ANYTHING to you". He honestly didn't recognize his own words as being anything that would piss someone off, probably because Dad does the same thing to Mom and everyone seems to think it's funny. Is it any wonder both of his boys have been benched for bad sportsmanship on the field?

My daughter, now she's a tough cookie on her own. She once laid a kid out on the field - a BIG kid (she's tiny) - by pushing behind his knees because he was bullying another small kid.

When my son stood up, the boys got frightened and that seemed to stop it. My son, though, was shook up afterwards, because he's not sure it will stop permanently. He just wants to go to school - he's got friends there. These two kids go out of their way to torment him, but then, are trouble-makers anyway.

Their school records show multiple trips to the principle in elementary. Does that follow a kid to the next school?[/quote]
