Bullying and the Pre-schooler:
Information and Strategies for talking to your young children about bullying
So...what am I feeling, and what need do I have?
- Telling is reporting to an adult when a person sees something cruel happening to oneself or others. The intention of the reporting is to keep another person, or the teller, safe from harm.
- Tattling is telling an adult something someone else has done to get attention or to get them in trouble. Tattling includes exaggerating a harmless incident or lying to an adult about what someone else did.
Relationships of all sorts are like teeter-totters.
In a healthy relationship, both people are equal and share responsibility. The teeter-totter is a fun game of back and forth. This is a relationship that is based on EQUALITY.
In an unhealthy relationship, one person is in control, and the other person is usually stuck on top of the teeter-totter. This is a relationship that is based on POWER AND CONTROL. Bullying is a unhealthy relationship.

Bullying is a form of physical or emotional aggression that unfolds within a relationship.
Involves 4 important factors:
- unequal power
- actions are deliberate and unjustified
- direct or indirect actions
- repetitive behaviour
Bullying is a set of behaviors,
not a person.
- bullying behaviors begin in pre-school
- children do what they see (at home with parents, siblings, tv, daycare)
- children will try out behaviors they see other kids try- even if they know it might have negative consequences (ability to see ahead, just not that far ahead)
- as bystanders, children have a keen sense of relational dynamics, and will side with the bullying behavior to deflect attention
- Sharing is telling information about a friend to keep a mutual friend updated. It is intended to be helpful.
- Gossiping is telling...
- secrets you promised not to tell others
- people about someone else in order to get attention
- a lie about someone to get back at them
- an exaggeration about what someone did to make them look bad to others
- the intent of gossip is malicious
- Joking or kidding with a friend is a way to tease each other in a kind way. It is done with no malicious intent, and if it bothers the person who is being joked with, the joker will stop.
- Taunting is calling someone names with the intent to hurt another person, and to feel more powerful than the person who is being taunted.
