It’s a solo short today friends! This has been on my mind quite a lot lately, and it's something I don’t think we talk enough about - the adult bullies in our lives.

Today, I'm coming to you with some straight talk about:

• The different types of adult bullies we encounter in our lives,
• The psychological and physical impacts of adult bullying,
• ADHD & 'conflict-seeking' behaviour,
• The critical role bystanders play in stopping bullying, and
• What parents and teachers need to do.

Check out the accompanying blog, When the bullies are the grown-ups, on The Dig Deeper Blog if you prefer a written version of the information presented here.
