For me it would completely depend on the age of the bully and the age of the person being bullied. I mean, it's one thing if it's 2 five year olds - and quite another if the bully is 10 and the other child is 5. And also, what type of 'bully'... like, "give me your lunch money or I'll pound you?" or "you can't play with us" type. Also, is it a chronic bully or a kid who is trying ot get attention for a short time? kwim?
My oldest has a problem with being bullyish (picking horribly) at younger children, especially his siblings and their friends. It's something I am really trying to get a handle on, but he gets too much enjoyment out of it to stop. Breaks my heart to see him act that way - but - I'm also at a loss as to what to do next because my efforts thus far have been in vain.
