“Each of these types of bullies shares common traits – they believe that they have

a right to behave as they do. They blame the victim for his own victimization. They

often believe that they are above the rules or are special in some way, and they

have little or no empathy for others.”

For this family power = control.

These families are great training ground for bullies.

• The Jelly Fish Family

Punishments and rewards are arbitrary and inconsistent.

Emotions rule the behavior of parents and children.

They provide consistency, firmness, fairness and a peaceful structure.

Promotes perseverance, generosity and optimism.
