Bullying can include having an object or possession taken away or damaged; verbal bullying, constant ridicule and name-calling; social exclusion, having negative rumours spread about them or physical bullying such as being pushed or struck. Bullying is not okay and amongst children at school it can be quite traumatising and in some cases even lead to significant mental health issues. Psychologist Sharyn Jones provides some insight into the world of childhood bullying.

Does my child have ODD?
It can be extremely difficult as parents to determine whether your child’s misbehaviour is part of normal development, or something more.
