Is bullying a necessary part of growing up?
Being bullied in the playground 'helps children grow up' says Helene Guldberg who lectures in child development at the Open University. She believes that teachers should not weigh in to 'break up boisterous banter or everyday playground disputes' and says that children should be left to deal with it themselves. She also claims that the current 'obsession' with bullying by teachers and politicians is robbing children of the 'experiences they need to develop'. HeleneÌýjoins Jane in the studio and discussesÌýher controversial views withÌýClaude Knights from the charity 'Kidscape'.
Reclaiming ChildhoodÌýby Helene Guldberg is published by Routledge ISBN-13: 978-0415477239
