I agree with some points about differentiating uncontrolled outlashing or outbursts versus bullying. FWIW, I was speaking of bullies - people who chronically pick on children smaller, "weaker," "lesser," than themselves. Like the boy who told my DD he was going to "murder her family" in school.
And, just because a child is new to our circle and lashes out at one of our children doesn't mean they're *not* a bully - they could be, still. It may just be our first encounter with them.
But, yeah, parenting has a lot to do with - well - a lot. But, yeah - my kids hit eachother no matter how many times I say "unacceptable" and remove them from the situation - I keep doing it, they keep doing it, it seems they'll never fully grasp it, though (speaking from a day when it seems that NO ONE can keep their hands or bodily fluids to themselves).
