I wanted to share a few of my thoughts on bullying that will be included in my upcoming book.... Bullies believe they hold power over and have gained the respect of their victims. This is a false illusion. The bully is getting an emotional fix and the victim has nothing but contempt for the bully. Similar to other addictive behaviors, as long as the bully is able to satisfy their craving for approval and attention, their behavior will continue. This is precisely why bullies rarely “work alone”. Once we have identified bullying behavior in our children we must encourage them to re-direct their energy toward a more productive activity such as sports or the performing arts. This will also allow them to continue to get the approval and attention they desire without causing emotional or physical harm to others. This is a win-win. The most effective way to learn what is driving bully behavior is to open a dialogue, ask questions and listen to the answers from a non-judgmental place. Remember, bullying is a fear based action. Heres to awareness and action! Have a great weekend!!!
