My son was being bullied by a nine year old service mate at the same time a neighbor. My husband approached the boy fuming mad and had a little sort of advice. The boy got afraid of what my husband did, I was waiting for the boy's parents to come over our place but nothing happened that day after the incident. The next morning the boy have not said a word nor touched my son during dismissal period at the service. Days after and weeks after, today i had a chat with my son and with a smile on his face telling me that the boy who once bullied him is making friends with him through teaching him to do some sort of a game on the net. I was amazed by the actions of the boy towards my son. I knew he really meant no harm to my son when that bullying thing happened. So good to hear such nice conversation among children. Hope that they can be friends soon not just school mates.

It sounds like your husband did a good job. It is indeed nice to see children getting along rather than fighting at each other, or worst bullying or getting by one. The thing is, things like this happen when they are allowed to happen, and what your husband did was probably the right action to it, and fortunately it was taken care of at an early stage. I have never experienced being bullied before nor did I bully anybody, but I once handled students in a dormitory school and I meet many of them, so I handled the situation. Most of them turned out okay while some just continued. Anyway, I do hope that they get to be good friends and serve as examples to other kids.

Actually my husband was astonished to know that the boy lives a few blocks away from our place. He doesn't expect a neighbor to do that for he knew for a fact that neighbors help each other. But it can happen to anybody anywhere. My son doesn't want a fight so did nothing. I admire my son for that attitude. Hope that the boy will never do bullying again to anyone.

Wow, that's is such a good thing. I hope too that they'll be friends. Good thing though that they're kids, there are adults who also bully others. I can relate with bullying since I've been bullied even on my 25 years of age. It's kinda hard though but having a humble response and a tough attitude wouldn't make a bullier the winner;)

Parent intervention really helps a lot. Furthermore, it will make your child feel that he has a support group in your family. With regards to what the boy is doing now - making friends with your son - I agree that perhaps he really doesn't mean to hurt your son or perhaps he realized his wrongdoing and is finally making steps to make amends.
