Telling

VS.

Tattling

Healthy Relationships and bullying

- 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.

What is bullying?

The pre-school brain and bullying

Sharing

VS.

Gossiping

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

Joking (kidding)

VS.

Taunting

- 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.

*Cyberbullying is missing from this chart, but would sit right in the middle. Although it often begins online, the internet acts as an extension of other forms of bullying, and the taunts, threats, and rumors usually make their way "offline".
