Differentiating between Domination and Bullying
There is a very thin line between bullying and dominating behavior and parents often fail to recognize the difference. It is important to read and recognize the signs, so that you are better equipped to help your child.
All children, especially pre-teens, express some degree of dominating behavior. It may be to protect their belongings or to express their resentment against something they do not like.
However, domination turns into bullying when a child’s aggression targets another purely with the intention of upsetting or hurting him. Parents should be observant towards such changing behavior and step in to prevent bullying at as early a stage as possible.
How to Differentiate Between Domination and Bullying
Look for the Intent
The key to differentiate between the two behaviours is that of intention. As a parent, looking for ‘Why’ your child behaved a certain way might give you a clue to whether he is simply dominating or is in the danger of turning into a bully. If the action stems from a desire to hurt or trouble someone, it is bullying behaviour.
Dominating Behavior is Often Reactive
Dominating behavior usually arises from the child’s desire to protect his belongings, from a feeling of being left out from a game. Similarly, this volatile behavior effects young children too. It may just happen from a simple desire to test his boundaries of control. It is often reactive. As a parent, helping a child identify the reason of such behavior can help him overcome it. However, if your child is using domination simply to get his way either with you with other children, it might be the beginning of bullying behavior.
Bullying is Deliberate and Repeated
For a bully, the intention to hurt is very deliberate. A bully often targets the same person again and again by making fun of him, saying mean things or even hitting, kicking or punching him.
Bullying is Against Specific People; Domination is Not
Being dominating is often a part of a child’s personality. He is the same towards all others. A bully however finds a vulnerable target. It may be someone who is physically weak, has fewer friends or is ‘different’ in any way and is not able to respond in equal measure.
Dominant Behavior Might Arise from a Legitimate Position; Bullying Does Not
Some tasks or positions like being a team leader or a class monitor often demand domineering behaviour. This is legitimate. Bullying, on the other hand, goes beyond the demands of the position.
Both bullying and dominating behavior need to be at check. However, bullying has far worse repercussions. Once a child realizes, he can get away with unreasonable behavior, it is difficult to stop him. Other children might take a cue from him and ape his behaviour too. The earlier a parent or caregiver identifies a bully, the easier it is for him to tackle him. Read more

बच्चो को अपंग नही सबल बनाए
आजकल सभी को पका पकाया खाने की आदत है | सब को सब कुछ करा कराया चाहिए | अगर कोई कुछ करना भी चाहे तुम माएँ उन्हें करने नहीं देना चाहती। पार्क में बैठी एक बुजुर्ग महिला के मुख से यह सुन रचना बोली- आंटी आप ऐसा क्यों कह रही है? तो इशारे से उन आंटी ने बताया देखो वह आरती है, अपने बेटे को फूल को छूने से मना कर रही है। इस पर मैंने कहा -कि यह तो अच्छी बात है फूल तोड़ना बुरी बात है। तो आंटी बोली- बिल्कुल बुरी बात होती है फूल तोड़ना, मैं जानती हूं। पर फूल को छूना बुरी बात नहीं होती। आरती इसलिए मना कर रही है अपने बेटे को कि कोई कांटा ना चुभ जाए और उसके हाथ मैले हो जाएंगे। पर रचना ने कहा आंटी कांटा चुभेगा तो वह रोएगा और इन्फेक्शन का भी डर है। आंटी ने कहा- तुम ठीक कह रही हो ,परंतु यदि वह बच्चा उस फूल को स्पर्श ही नहीं करेगा। कांटों के डर से तो उसकी कोमलता का एहसास उसे कैसे होगा? आजकल के बच्चे को माता पिता हर चीज देते हैं जिनकी उन्हें आवश्यकता होती है। जैसे कोई टॉय या बर्थडे पर गिफ्ट, बर्गर, पिज़्ज़ा हर वीकेंड पर आउटिंग, अच्छे से अच्छे स्कूल में एजुकेशन, सारा प्रोटेक्शन परंतु इन सब को देने के चक्कर में जो सबसे अधिक आवश्यक है ,वह देना भूल जाते हैं।जब तक वह जीवन की कठिनाइयों को महसूस नहीं करेगा। तो उनसे बचने के तरीकों को कैसे सीखेगा वह। वह फूल को छूएगा नहीं तो चाह कैसे जागेगी उसके अंदर उसे उगाने की। चाहे कितने भी कठिनाइयां आए वह बीज को बोएगा भी और कांटों से बचना भी स्वयं सीख जाएगा। परंतु यह अति संरक्षण की भावना है ना हमारे अंदर अपने बच्चों के प्रति यह कहीं ना कहीं उनकी सफलता में बाधक भी है।
सोचो यदि किसान अपने पुत्र को यह कहकर फसल उगाना ना सिखाए कि इस कार्य में न धन है और मेहनत भी अधिक है । तो हमारे लिए भोजन की व्यवस्था कैसे होगी? ऐसे ही बहुत से कार्य हैं, जिनमें अधिक परिश्रम होता है ,परंतु इसका अर्थ यह कदापि नहीं है कि हम अपने बच्चों को वह कार्य करने ही ना दे ।परिश्रम चाहे खेत पर हो ,खेल के मैदान में पसीने बहाना, परिश्रम परिश्रम होता है ।परंतु पसीना बहेगा इसीलिए परिश्रम करने ही ना दिया जाए ।तो यह अन्याय होगा अपने ही बच्चे के साथ ,उसके शरीर के साथ, उसके जीवन के उद्देश्य के साथ। क्योंकि जहां उद्देश्य है, वहां परिश्रम भी है।परिश्रम से ही मनुष्य कठोर होता है। केवल शारीरिक रूप से ही नहीं मानसिक रूप से भी ।और यही कठोरता उसे जीवन में आगे चलकर हर परिस्थिति में सुदृढ़ बनाए रखने में सहायक होती है। स्वास्थ्य तन के साथ साथ स्वस्थ मन भी जीवन की महत्वपूर्ण आवश्यकता है।
तो छूने दीजिए काटो से भरे फूल, गिरने दीजिए और कभी-कभी संभलने भी दिजिए, ताकि आपके बिना भी संभालना सीखे यह नन्हे बच्चे। जब कठिनाइयों में आपके बच्चे अंसमझ की स्थिति में हो। तो पहले उनसे कहिए कि आप स्वयं निकाले अपनी समस्या का समाधान। यदि नहीं निकाल पाए वह समाधान उचित रूप से। तो आप करें मार्गदर्शन उनका।
जीवन की समस्या से हो जाने दीजिए दो चार कभी, फिर देखिए हो जाएगी नौनिहालों की जिंदगी गुलजार, कांटों के बीच भी गुलाब की तरह, खिल खिलाएंगे ,हसाएंगे ,गिरेंगे और संभलेगे भी।।

Ten Tips to Raise a Bilingual Child
We are living in what is referred to as a ‘global village’ these days, indicating how much more reachable everything has become. As our world gets smaller, being able to speak more than one language is definitely an advantage. Here are some tips to help you overcome common obstacles to bilingualism and raise a bilingual child without too much effort.
As the cultural boundaries have disappeared or merged, there has been an increase in mixed marriages, which inevitably leads to mixed parenting! While this is certainly something to be celebrated and encouraged, it creates a few questions in the minds of new parents – which language do we use when raising our child?
The thing is, you don’t really have to choose a single language to raise a child. Children have been growing up in bilingual and even multilingual households for ages, and it has only benefitted them in the long run. However, there are people who claim that two languages can confuse a child, delay speech development and lead to mastery over neither. While these are far from the truth, there are a few things to consider before deciding to raise a bilingual child.
The first question has to be why you want your child to be bilingual. The answer to this decides the extent to which you want to pursue bilingualism – understanding, speaking, reading or writing as well. You need to discuss this with your partner so that your goals are clear and you are on the same page. Make sure that you’re not doing this to due to the family or societal pressure.
If you’ve decided to go bilingual, congratulations!! We’re all set to help you with our handbook of tips.
Ten Tips to Raise a Bilingual Child
1. Show the same respect
First of all, ensure that you’re not unknowingly giving any undue ‘superiority’ to either language. Teach your child that every language has its place in the world and is important in its own way.
2. Have a plan
Even if two languages are spoken equally often in your home, just assuming that your child will pick it up won’t work. You need to be organized with clear goals; a half-hearted effort won’t reap results.
3. Dont wait
Your child is never too young or too old to learn a new language. The earlier you start, the better. Even infants can distinguish between different tongues, so you have a budding learner from the start!
4. Make time
You’ve made a plan, but you also need to make time to implement that plan. Ensure that you prioritize it and arrange time slots during the day and weekends accordingly.
5. Get company
Everything is so much better when there’s someone to share it with! Arrange play dates with children who are already speaking the second language that you want to introduce to your child. Or else, send them to classes that use this second language as the main medium.
6. Make it fun
You don’t want your child to think that learning a new language is a chore. Convert your regular games into new versions including the new language. Get funny books to read together; the funnier they are, the more likely they’ll be remembered!
7. Celebrate it
The native language of a place is closely linked to its culture, so be sure to celebrate all the native festivals, staying true to their traditional ways. Celebrations always last longer in our memories and will help kids accommodate the new language more easily.
8. Use media
Media is a strong tool to help raise a bilingual child. Cartoons, TV shows and movies, all help. Although you can’t expect a child to learn a new language solely by watching TV, it’ll help to reinforce whatever he’s learning otherwise.
9. Stay consistent
Like we mentioned earlier, having a solid plan and making time for it is very essential, as is sticking to the plan. Don’t get disheartened halfway through or get lazy and give up; you’ll just undo all the efforts you and your child took.
10. Be patient
However well intentional your efforts are, you can’t expect your child to cooperate 100% every time! Be prepared for dull periods and take it easy when either of you are in a bad mood. But be sure to bounce back soon and take it from there; remember the plan!
Knowing more than one language makes a person more confident, apart from increasing his employment and educational opportunities. Learning a language from a different part of the world also develops more tolerance and understanding, which is what today’s society lacks. So go ahead and raise your bilingual child without stress; you’ll both be proud of yourselves! Read more
