[quote=Anonymous]Not the PP but according to the American Psychological Association bullying is: Bullying is a form of aggressive behavior in which someone intentionally and repeatedly causes another person injury or discomfort. Bullying can take the form of physical contact, words or more subtle actions. My guess is that the point PP was trying to make is that many parents miss the "intentionally and repeatedly" part of this definition. If a kid says one time to your kid on the playground "you can't play" that is clearly poor behavior but the child is not bullying the other child. If it happens every day or a couple of times a week, week in and week out,, then it becomes bullying. Many parents are too quick to use the bullying word whenever another child misbehaves toward their child. Hurting another kid is of course not okay but kids are human too and don't always act their best, but until it becomes a pattern, that child is not a bully. [/quote]
