Perhaps children are aware of this on some level.<BR/><BR/>Plus, children will perhaps simply unconsciously, follow the example.<BR/><BR/>Also perhaps unconsiously, they would feel that they have been given permission to behave that way. <BR/><BR/>They may even consciously work out some sort of mechanism of justification for this behaviour.<BR/><BR/>Or simply that being bullied is likely to result in more bullying because it would provide the necessary sense of empowerment or control that was surrendered in being bullied by the parent.Carlottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12686469871331093679noreply@blogger.com
