What would you do if you think your child might be a bully or is bullying

First try to sit them down and talk to them. Depends on how old they are. If they are high school, then they should know better, and some type of punishment is needed. If they are elementary school, then they need to understand the impacts they are having on the kids they are bullying. It depends on the child and their maturity level as to how to approach that.

First look at yourself and your actions; I think the #1 reason kids become bullies is because they get treated poorly at home. Get professional advice on that one.

Other than that, reinforce positive behavior - my stepson is a big kid who could easily force his will on other kids, but he's been constantly reminded to be a helper to smaller kids and he really does have a heart of gold.

Some kids though, just have the need to do this and there's not a lot to be done - some of it is upbringing and some of it is chemistry, you can only have an effect on one.

This.....most children take on the personalities and actions of their parents whether they think they do or not.

Some of it can also be inaction, because sometimes lack of positive reinforcement towards more desired behaviors can lead to this too, without necessarily a negative example set in the home (such examples can come from friends, TV, etc).

Physical punishment in the form of spanking the kid without properly explaining why won't accomplish anything either... might even make it worse. Not saying there isn't a place for that, but yeah.

In general I would talk to the child while also trying to understand if something in their home life could be causing that kind of behavior. If you have solid reason to believe s/he is bullying don't just leave it at talking to him/her once either. Get involved in your kid's life, and try to see who s/he is hanging around with etc.

I'd talk to him, tell him what I thought of those types of actions and then we'd go down to the Cabarrus County Jail and let him meet some guys that thought that kind of behavior was ok too at one time.

I absolutely will not stand for it. My kid better be the one who stands up to the bully's in defense of others.

      Mcshay Unsure T-mac is a wr 1 or X..

      It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      By Super Grateful · Posted

      the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
