When Children Are Fighting with Each Other，what Should We Do?

My extent of jumping in would depend on the age. Very young kids-I would jump in right away and correct the bullying. After age 5 or 6 I would stand back to see how it is going down and what the kids are doing themselves to rectify. If my kid seems afraid or won't stand up for himself then I absolutely jump in to tell the other child that their behavior is totally unnacceptable (and I don't care at all if the child's parent is right there either). And if MY child is the bullier.....big trouble for them!

Well, first you should check it out because sometimes some kids just play like that so all you have to do is say, "Hey, not so rough!" and they'll settle down. But, if it actually is bullying and teasing then you should just get your child away from there and never let him/her play there ever again! That's exactly what I would have wanted my mother to do when I got bullied/harassed in school (if she had ever been there when it happened).

If my child is doing the bullying I put a stop to it right away. I call him over and we talk about his unacceptable behavior and then he sits next to me for 5 minutes or so until he's ready to play nicely. I tell him if he has another issue we're leaving, then we do.
If my son is being picked on I walk up to the situation and ask what the problem is. I take both children to the bullying child's mother and explain what happened. Then I walk away and let her handle it. I am my child's only protector, if I'm not there for him who will be?

First of all, if I saw my child doing the bullying, we would be done at the park immediately and there would be severe consequences at home! Bullying is not to be tolerated, no matter how young the offender. Children need to be taught empathy!!! If it were my child being bullied, I would not yell at the other child. I would never yell at someone else's child unless it were a life or death (or extremely serious) circumstance. I think I would try to talk to the other child and see if I can get that child to feel empathy. If not, then I would tell my child to find someone else to play with and just tell the child to leave mine alone. If that didn't work, I would take my child and leave. Again, the reason we have so much juvenile crime these days is because kids watch horrible violence on television and in those stupid video games. They grow immune to human suffering and pain - they don't feel empathy! We need to teach our children to put themselves in the other person's place and think about how they'd like to be treated and then act accordingly. If we don't re-start teaching empathy, we will end up with a society of sociopaths!
