Manchester Man Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 So what do you do when a local kid(s) are bullyish and bratty to the somewhat younger kids. My daughter is 7 and there's this girl 3 years older that hangs with the local kids who range from 4 to her age. A couple of the kids who are 8 and 4 are total brats as well. This older one was on our driveway and being mean to my daughter so I called her on it, and said, hey that's mean! So she runs off. What else can you do but speak out against bad behaviour? try to set a solid example for the other kids who might be intimidated? Link to post Share on other sites
D-Lish Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I would have been harsher with the bully... But I think it would infuriate me to see my child treated badly. I think the best thing you can do is to teach your own child how to deal with bullies. She'll encounter them throughout her young life- this little brat won't be the first.

BlueeyedJonesy Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 We have a neighborhood bully and since alot of the little ones gather here in the summer..I had trouble with it! I told him the first day I caught it that he needed to leave...the next day he came back and was good for a while then he started again..I told him to leave. after weeks of this he is the sweetest little boy...I don't give chances when it comes to bullies. Its becoming a BIG problem more and more it seems. Link to post Share on other sites
sally4sara Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 You get a good spray nozzle for your garden hose. Next time you catch her on your property bullying your kid, hose her down real good. As she runs off holler "I can see your baby bra I can see your baby bra!" It matters not if you can or even if she wears one. The word "baby" and anything to do with exposed undergarments are a huge point of humiliation for young girls. Just one of the services I provided as a baby sitter. Link to post Share on other sites
Woggle Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Why don't you speak to their parents and tell them what their kids are doing? Link to post Share on other sites
sally4sara Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 You're also in luck with the fact that the moment you made your presence known, she ran off. She is a cream puff. You don't have a real bully problem till they shed their fear of adults. Link to post Share on other sites
Fouts Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Why don't you speak to their parents and tell them what their kids are doing? Most parents who have a child with behavioral problems are in total denial. Not all, but most. Odds are better with Sara's hose than talking to mom and pop Link to post Share on other sites
sally4sara Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Yup, in my neighborhood growing up, we had this one big for his age kid who had been caught holding smaller boys down and forcing kisses on them. He started hanging around our house and hassling my brother. I chased him off and gave him a swift kick to the butt for the trouble. He brought his mother down to my door. He been accused of this crap before but she still blubbered and screamed on my stoop over how "unfair" I'd treated her baby. He ended up getting caught in the act as an adult molesting a boy in his car. Link to post Share on other sites
