Each month I write a newsletter that goes out to hundreds (really!) If you’re not already receiving it you’re missing out on the latest and greatest musing of, well, me and the early childhood community. It is also filled with great tips and easy to do make over suggestions. Most importantly, it tells you where in the world I’m speaking next. Get in on the action and join the newsletter family. Simply click the Contact Us button and ask to be added to the email list and I’ll get you started for next month’s issue.
Victims and Bullies- A Big Deal
There seems to be so much being written about bullies and victims these days. Is this a new problem? Not really but it is becoming more of an issue. What is the cause of this sudden surge of news regarding these destructive behaviors?
One thing is for sure, children don't wake up one day and declare themselves victims or bullies. These patterns of behavior are laid down in the preschool years and the adults are pivotal in the behavior choice process. Early childhood teachers need to think about the choices they are making when guiding children's behavior and start making decisions that will have a positive impact for the long term and not just fix the right now.
Tip: Allow children to work through the problems they have with each other, with as little adult involvement as possible and safe. Empowering children to solve their own problems is a great tool to prevent a victim pattern of thinking.
