This girl and my daughter do not get on and have fallen out before. But this time she chose to talk about it in front of a bunch of mums who immediately suggested my daughter was being bullied and I go talk to the teacher.\r\n<h3>Personally<\/h3>\r\nI didn&#8217;t feel that it was bullying but part of the usual ebb and flow or kids liking and disliking each other. However, when I got home I started to wonder if I was wrong and if perhaps the advice I gave to my daughter to ignore this other girl entirely and not care what she was saying was right.\r\n\r\nSo I was relieved to here <a href=\"http:\/\/www.professortanyabyron.com\/\">Professor Byron<\/a> say much the same thing about kids being mean is not always being about bullying. And how incidences like these, while upsetting for a child are a good opportunity to teach them about emotional resilience. Something I really want my daughter to be able to do\u00a0because being able to &#8216;bounce back&#8217; from mean people and setbacks is key in life.\r\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.professortanyabyron.com\/\">Tanya Byron&#8217;s <\/a>advice<\/h3>\r\nIs to simply teach your child them that someone else&#8217;s nastiness is about projection. Then show your child how to distance themselves emotionally. By realising that\u00a0not everyone&#8217;s opinion should matter to them. Especially if they don&#8217;t like\/get on with that person. It&#8217;s by creating these personal boundaries that a child will be able to cope when another child is mean to them.\r\n\r\nIt&#8217;s something I wished someone had taught me as a child\/teen\/adult. But what do you think? How are you teaching your children about emotional resilience?\r\n<h3>Related article<\/h3>\r\nhttps:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/bullying-how-do-we-stop-it\/\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">KidStart \u2013 a little help along the way<\/a><\/h4>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On Saturday I heard \u00a0Professor Tanya Byron speak at the Mumsnet Blogfest.
