When Should you hesitate to mediate?
Attached is an informative perspective from Elizabeth Englander, Ph. D., Director of the Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center regarding whether it is appropriate to mediate in a situation where bullying is involved. She writes, "[a]lthough many educators have long approached conflict in children through the use of mediation and negotiation, discipline through limit-setting may be the only effective means of encouraging children to cease bullying others."

I am not sure I agree with that except in really aggressive situations especially at older ages. Most youth recognize the opportunity to settle and learn from the experience.
