    Bullying at Daycare...

    Hello!

    I know there is many information in bullying online but I was wondering if any of you had experience with bullying in your daycare and how you handle it.

    There is a kid starting next month (enrolled few months ago to start in august) but I just found out he is bullying other kids constantly, the daycare he is currently attending had a huge "parent meeting".

    I don't want to let go of this family because of this, I am hoping to help since they are truly wonderful and kind.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

      Honestly, some times it is the environment and not always the kids' personality etc.

      Perhaps he is acting out (bullying) at his other daycare because someone is bothering him or treating him badly.
      Perhaps his needs aren't met or the supervision isn't right... I don't know... it can be a ton of things.

      What I would do is set the stage immediately with him at your house so that he knows aggressive and hurtful behaviors will NOT be tolerated.

      Have firm, clear rules with consistent enforcement every.single.time.

      Also try to have an open mind too... It's not always fair to kids to be labeled...sometimes if they hear it enough, they just give in and act the part...kwim?

      How old is this boy?

              How old is this child and what do you mean by "bullying"? When I think of bullying, I think of the dictionary definition "use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants".

              Do you mean pestering, or being violent towards others, or saying unkind things? If it's any of the above, though, and I'd just stick to him like glue (or have him stick to me) and cut him off at the pass any time he starts behaving in a way you don't like. Praise others (or some other form of attention) who act in appropriate ways.

                  Conscious Discipline actually has a good bullying video they put out recently after another school shooting. Youtube it or go to their website.
