There has been so much information this year about people and their bully experiences including the most recent one about cyber-bully in our every day interaction with our internet world. But when it comes to the origin or the source, the reason behind this behavior there is so much out there that is becoming a little bit complex.
Baby M has been very outgoing since she started her interaction manners. Yes, once in a while she is clingy – specially after waking up from a nap and strangers suddenly appear in her living room – that’s understandable. But for the majority she is not, she is all smiles. I am surprised she doesn’t smile when something hurts, really, it’s amazing seeing her that happy. When around people, especially strangers, she goes all her way to be the center of attention. If she is in a mall she literally follows them and talks to them (you know, the goo goo gaaaaaaaAAAAA!). Anyway, when my friends and her little friends come to visit is the same. She takes over. She is not afraid to make contact; and by contact I mean she grabs their faces, pokes them in their yes, grabs their hair, pulls herself up using their backs, etc.. Of course, I know she is a baby and can’t coordinate her motor skills for a more smooth approach and I try as much as I can to help her do so, but I can’t help but wonder, is my baby the bully of her pack? And I am against “bulling” and when appropriate I’ll be inducing some of that education to her, I know I will.
Baby M is 10mo as of today, her other friends are 7mo and 11mo. I feel terrible that mine makes them cry. Sometimes I know is not her fault since they cry just being around her or close to her without actual contact. All babies are different. She imposes herself I guess or they are still in a sensitive stage compared to her. All I know is that they are normally quiet and very still even when she is napping in the other room, so I guess their personalities are pron to like someone alike.
I love how outgoing she is and I know I’ve helped to build up her confidence in herself. I just want this phase to pass fast so they can at least play in a more even level. I don’t want to feel that my baby will be one of those hated-babies because she is considered the bully of the pack. I guess I need to express this to their moms, huh?
