Bullying in school can be a result of peer pressure
In recent years, many schools have taken strict measures to prevent bullying on their premises. However, students bullying their friends or juniors at school should be a concern for parents. It is important to know the reason behind such behavior to prevent your child from bullying others.
Sometimes, bullying is the result of peer pressure or can be a reaction of people who have already faced it. Bullying can also be the result of a child’s inability to control impulses or manage anger. While schools are taking appropriate measures to curb such activities, parents should be equally involved in keeping their children’s behavior under control.
Let us tell you that overreacting and cursing the child will not help. Here are some tips that can help you handle aggressive behavior in your child.
