Bullying In Early Childhood Education

When it comes to this certain topic in schools teachers play a major role of whether it escalates or stops. The bullying first starts in early childhood. As a future educator it is my duty to serve as the role model and stop the bullying altogether. If us as educators, parents and community residents do not make a change the bullying will continue to grow and spread nationwide. 

How does the bullying start?

Bullying starts when children see certain thing that go on from television to things they see in their neighborhoods. Educational media can also be a guide to the behaviors that children pick up and cooperatively badly with their other peers. Theses behaviors can also be taught by adults when they yell, punish or even shame a student in front of other , rather than just using a soft tone voice or pulling them to the side. 

Ways to prevent bullying inside the classrooms.

There are many different ways to prevent bullying inside the classrooms but two of them are the most important to me which are taking charge and getting parents involved. As an adult it is important that you take charge when there is bad behavior going on. Educators can prevent bullying before it starts, intervene when it happens, and follow up to make sure it does not continue. They can encourage children to engage in healthy, cooperative interactions, and discourage bullying behaviors intended to hurt and exclude targeted classmates. They can also help children learn and practice the skills and strategies needed to become resilient against bullying. This is something that parents can go by when they are home with the child.
