ARTICLE: Kindergarden "bullying"

We have all heard the problems with bullying lately. It is a problem that many schools are attacking by using different programs and activities. However, we usually start worrying about this in elementary school and on through high school. There are times that this can start at a very young age, as early as kindergarden. Talk to your children every day, ask them how their day was and who they played with. Get to know your child´s teacher and ask her about your child´s attitude in school. If your child is being bullied, the sooner you deal with the problem, the better. Watch for warning signs such as: your child doesn´t want to go to school on a regular basis, they come out crying, nail biting, hair or t-shirt biting, etc. Talk to your child and the teacher if you become aware of this, and always assure your youngster that you are there to help them out in whatever they might need.
