Bullying
By A from Delaware

There is usually a hidden reason that children bully-I'm sure you've heard it all. They need to feel accepted or maybe need to be left out sometimes. In my classroom, I do partner and small group activities a lot. So, I tell the bully that they will have to work alone until I think that they can work well with others. As I moniter the groups I compliment appropriate behavior and at some point speak alone with the bully about what they plan to do differently so they can be in a group.
I've found that it is best not to get in a power struggle or embarrass a child like that. Although you may feel they don't deserve it sometimes-go out of your way to show them respect and talk to them alone.
