The school of thought is that you must be small so I can be BIG. Teaching children that there is enough room in this world for everyone to look good or be BIG will be a great investment.

I think one of the greatest gifts you can give your kids at a young age is to teach them about how to deal with bullying.

We did it with our girls and the school also do it and they are able to deal with those situations when they arise.

As sad as it is and I relly don’t think young kids understand the impact they can have on the people they pick on and they are doing it from pre school on.

So kudos to you Vicki

Cheers

At some stage all kids will come across the schoolyard bully so having our kids better equiped to deal with these challenges is a wonderful gift.

Vicki, thanks for choosing to be in this space. your insights are great

Kudos for addressing this very important topic. Bullying is (and probably always has been) a HUGE problem for our youth. I truly believe it is a major contributor to childhood stress and can be a carryover to stress in college (and perhaps beyond) as well.

I believe bullying can be a single isolated episode or a chain of recurring events. In the USA (and most other countries as well) we have laws on record to prevent this type of behavior between adults; however, when it comes to our children we abandon such legal terms as harassment, assault, and battery (etc…) in lieu of “bullying.”

Identifying the root cause of each instance of bullying would be an interesting study. My guess is that in its simplest form every instance of bullying comes down to picking on or making fun of our differences.

Perhaps one solution (or it could be very likely that it’s only part of the solution) would be to begin very early on teaching our children to embrace and love one another and all of our differences.

I’m likely being overly simplistic in my thinking, but why complicate things? Children who are taught to love, love. Children who are taught to hate, hate.

Let’s have stress-free kiddos by teaching and empowering our youth to simply love others, forgive others, and accept others.
