Mobbing w wychowaniu

Abstract

The word ‘mobbing’ derives from an English word ‘mob’ – a disorderly crowd of people, the common people, a crowd engaged in lawless violence – and means ‘to attack, harass, surround’. Factors which allow to forecast violent behaviour include parental delinquency, the child’s temper, little support from the guardian (usually mother) as well as the use of upbringing methods based on force and permissive attitude of parents who tolerate their child’s aggressive behaviour towards siblings, peers and adults. The emergence of children’s aggressive behaviour is enhanced by components of the upbringing style in the family as well as the correlations among them. In order to aid upbringing without violence, it is worth considering the model of situational parenting. Effective prevention of aggressive behaviour should encompass suggestions of programmes addressed, in the first place, to parents. It is crucial to teach parents how to react to misbehaviour without resorting to violence.
