As the first playground for a child, the family is where the bud is first watered and gets to blossom. A lack of warmth and involvement on the part of the parents can result in the petals not properly and securely growing up. In addition, overly-permissive parenting, including a lack of limits for the child’s behavior, can somehow reinforce the negative attitude leading to cyber bullying. On one hand, a general lack of supervision, and on the other hand, harsh, physical discipline, can both entice aggressiveness in a child’s psychology, as well as the existence of one form or more of domestic violence, whether through parent modelling of bullying behavior, or by being victimized by older siblings (especially among boys).
