Dear Edwina, Jr.

Is the behavior you are hearing about really bullying? Do you feel like your own children are acting like bullies to each other at home sometimes? Here are two articles explaining true bully behavior- a word that is often overused and one article to help think about fostering a loving relationship between siblings at home. Many times kids who tease others are doing so because they feel insecure. Self-esteem and confidence building can start at home among family members. Help your children be Kids For Others not only for those in the community but for those who live under the same roof.
