(Unit 7) Topic 6: Bullying Identification: A Developmentally Appropriate Approach​​

2 Clock Hours of Early Childhood Education

What is Bullying?

​Topic 6 Page 2

Many of us consider our childhood experiences in school when we think about bullies. We picture the child on the playground who would tease or make fun of others. Sometimes we have the distinct memory of the child who would physically harm or threaten one specific child. There have always been bullies and there has always been mean behavior, but it is crucial to know the difference between the two. 
Picture
Bullying is defined as unwanted, aggressive behavior that involves an imbalance of power and a real or perceived threat. 
Picture
Bullying behavior is also repeated over a period of time and may increase in aggression or frequency. ​
Bullying can include physical, verbal, and social components. It is also important to note the following definitions according to Stop Bullying, a federal campaign:

Imbalance of Power
​Kids who bully use their power—such as physical strength, access to embarrassing information, or popularity—to control or harm others. Power imbalances can change over time and in different situations, even if they involve the same people.

Repetition
Bullying behaviors happen more than once or have the potential to happen more than once.
​Mean Behavior
Mean behavior is defined as behavior that is negative in nature but does not include an imbalance of power, repetition, or a threat to the child receiving these actions. Mean behavior is often experienced in social situations where children may be outcast from a peer group, teased, or otherwise spoken to negatively. Mean behavior is unfortunate and uncomfortable but is not considered on the same level as bullying. This is a crucial distinction to consider as you observe and record children’s interactions.
