Answer to Question 1

You should be concerned as victims of bullying are anxious, depressed, and
underachieving at the time, and may have low self-esteem and painful memories
years later. You should get involved by teaching your child problem-solving skills,
improving your child's academic skills, and changing your child's negative
assumptions. Further, you might want to make the teachers aware of this situation.
Teachers can discuss reasons to stop bullying and ways to successfully mediate
peer conflicts. If the situation persists, the teacher can move the bully to a different
class or discuss the situation with the parents.

Answer to Question 2

Older children come to focus on motives, feelings, and the social consequences of
behavior. They also understand motivation, can analyze the future impact of people's
actions, and can use personality traits to predict behavior. Children come to
understand that people can have several emotions simultaneously and that people
sometimes disguise their true emotions.
