BULLYING AFFECTS EVERYONE INVOLVED No matter the excuse or explanation given, bullying is bullying. It is not a natural pecking order, it is not kids being kids, and it can not simply be ignored. Bullying is harmful to everyone involved and has a lasting effect on the lives of children, teenagers and adults. Preventing your child from becoming a bully and helping him grow into a strong and secure individual starts very young. Simply showing your child consistent love and attention is one of the most important things a parent can do. Children learn by watching other children and adults and research shows that bullies beget bullies. Research also shows that the best way to prevent bullying from having this lasting effect on children, teens and adults, is to start teaching empathy and kindness at a very young age. Teach children that violence is unacceptable. Giving children a safe and loving home where violence is not allowed is an important step in preventing bullying. Children learning by what they see and hear, whether it is from family members, television, video games, etc. Supervise what they are exposed to and act appropriately because a parent is a child’s first and most influential role model. -- Kennerkare
