My older brothers weren't, so will the number of children studied really a sufficient part of the whole to be considered a representative of all? Anyway, read on... ----- Older Brothers More Likely to Bully FRIDAY, Nov. 5 ( HealthDay News) — Older brothers are more likely than older sisters to bully younger siblings, a new study finds. Italian researchers looked at 195 children, aged 10 to 12, who had siblings that were no more than four years older or younger.

The best approach is a proactive one. Begin by contacting the school and making sure they’re aware of the problem.

I doubt many of you would say: " Great Idea , come on in!" When we leave our children in front of the television , we're giving over control of them to complete strangers. That's a risky thing to do. An increasing number of studies have found that violence on television frequently leads later to aggressive behaviour by children and teenagers. One of the most conclusive studies was conducted by Dr Leonard D Aaron. His studies showed that the more frequently the participants watched violent television at the age of 8, the more serious were the crimes that they were convicted of by the age of 30 and the more aggressive was their behaviour when drinking. It is time for parents to control the amount and the content of television their children are watching. The consequences of not do...
