All About Bullying
-
As a principal at a new preschool in Singapore George Washington Preschool I know from first hand experience (37 years) that awareness and monitoring of students closely by staff is critical. Having a school where there are no blind spots to block the view of teachers so children are safe and having a close relationship with all students so you quickly can tell what obvious and not so obvious behaviours are setting children up for unsafe situations is critical. In my experience it is important o st up a monitoring system once a bully and victim have been identified .It can’t be a one time meeting discussion etc as once they both know you are monitoring the 2 children the bully loses power and the victim gains power .Having regular meetings allows them both to develop relationships they may not have had and it also sets the other children up to not be "bystanders as they also play a role in these situations .The difficult situations are the cyberbullying ones and then parents must play an active role in monitoring their children’s online actions as they become bystanders also and we know they are just as responsible for the situation and play a role in preventing further abuse

As a parent, you must educate first your child from bullying others Parents can play a central role to preventing bullying and stopping it when it happens. Give children positive feedback when they behave well to help their build self-esteem. Help give them the self-confidence to stand up for what they believe in. Ask your children about their day and listen to them talk about school, social events, their classmates, and any problems they have. Take bullying seriously. Many kids are embarrassed to say they have been bullied. You may only have one chance to step in and help.

There's an upcoming http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/event/bully-free-forum-2013 in August organised by the Children's Society. This Forum is targeted at parents. It might be worthwhile to attend this if parents are concerned with bullying in schools.

My son was just bullied in preschool and the school just said, i will investigate and not do anything before investigation ends.
The bully n his elder brother are in the same preschool as my son.
1st time it happened..they called my son horrible names when he did not even do anything to them.
2nd time..they were in the music room, the bully punch my son's stomach but he did not react..then the bully pushed and made my son fall and cried.
I asked the Principle to get the bully to apologise to my son infront of the class but the principle & centre manager refused!!Saying it might not be intentional?! And they will look into it...
Seriously..what's wrong with apologising? I think i am very wrong to teach my son to be gentle, he gets bullied in the end. I told him to kick & slap the bully next time if he calls him names or push him infuture...
No one wants their precious to be bullied!! Cant teach our young ones to be too nice :imanangel: too pple anymore. Enrolling him for martial arts for self defence.
the lousy preschool is LEARNING VISION, getting my son out of there already. :stompfeet: -
DD already got bullied even before attending pre-school.
Her cousin, younger than her by 2 months, always like to disturb or hit DD.
Just yesterday, DD was sitting quietly, minding her own business when her cousin came & attempted to hit her.
Luckily I was there to block her blows, but then she used her sharp nails to dig into my skin. :mad:
Her nails were cut into sharp triangular shapes...
Sometimes I wonder if the cousin was just jealous of DD because DD's so quiet and well-behaved, exactly opposite of her cousin, and many people tend to dote on DD. -
Triangular shaped nails sounds scary & destructive!! Tell the older generation to get say something so the nails are trims properly…OMG…

I heard the following from experts
Step 1: ignore
step 2: say to the bully "i am hurted by you. Pls don’t do this to me"
Step 3:say firmly but not fighting tone, " if you never stop i will tell to principal"
step 4:walk away
