Our kids encounter all kinds of behavior from peers — sometimes someone says something unkind without thinking, and other times it’s intentional. Knowing how to tell the difference — and how to respond appropriately — helps kids feel confident and strengthen their independence and peer relationships.
Rude behavior happens when someone’s words or actions are inconsiderate, but not meant to hurt.
Example: “You’re in my spot!” or letting a door slam in someone’s face on accident.
Teach your child to stay calm, use kind but firm words (“You can ask nicely next time”), and move on.
Mean behavior is when someone intends to hurt with words or actions but does it once or twice, not repeatedly.
Example: “You’re the worst person on the basketball team” or “You know nobody likes you, right?”
Teach your child to take a deep breath, say confidently, “That was mean,” walk away and spend time with supportive friends, tell an adult if it continues or really feels hurtful.
Bullying behavior is repeated over time, intentional, and involves a power imbalance (the person being targeted feels unable to stop it).
Example: Repeated teasing, exclusion, or threats from the same person or group.
Teach your child to tell a trusted adult right away, stick with friends who make them happy, and avoid people who don’t.
💡 Parent Tip: Model calm and confident responses at home. Kids learn best when they see adults handle conflict with respect and self-control.
