Answer to Question 1

Children can spend a great deal of time using entertainment media such as television and video games, and much of what they see or interact with may be violent. Too much of this exposure may lead to interpersonal violence such as bullying.

Answer to Question 2

Very young children whose parents have difficulty in social experiences and are coercive or verbally abusive may have little positive reinforcement or social skills in their lives. Some children who bully may be victims themselves or may have watched intimate partner violence. Parental involvement and warmth may not be present, or parentsmay not set limits or have clear expectations for behavior,soany behavior on the part of the child may be acceptable to the parent. Children who bully may be overwhelmed in their lives by a loss or change, such as the divorce of their parents or a move from familiar surroundings. Young children who bully may also have higher levels of depression,
anger, and impulsivity.
