DISCUSSION QUESTIONS- Have you ever had someone be physically too rough with you? What happened? How did you respond?
- How do you feel about play fighting? Why do you think some kids like it? Why do you think some kids don’t like it?
- Why is it important to be able to tell the difference between play fighting and real fighting? What do you think are the main differences?
- Why might social control (using the group’s disapproval to rein someone in) be an effective way to deal with someone who is being too rough?
- Why is it important to tell a trusted grown-up if someone bigger, stronger, tougher, or more socially powerful than you is picking on you? If you were being bullied, who would you tell?
