https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.jsBullying is a big problem in us schools today. children that are bullied suffer emotionally and are more likely to develop low self esteem and depression. experts believe that the younger the children are when bullying prevention is taught, the better. Teaching younger children about bullying prevention, as well about the social/emotional skills is important to the development of “emotional intelligence,” which lays a foundation that promotes the capability for empathy, which can grow throughout their school years.
“Many children experience the beginnings of bullying behavior for the first time while in daycare, preschool, or kindergarten,” explains Karen Goldberg, a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in working with parents and children, including adolescents. “The groundwork for how to deal with and prevent bullying behavior is laid early on. The sooner children are given tools for preventing bullying, the more effective they will be.”
Peter J. Goodman, is an author, who has been working with Goldberg toward creating tools to teach young children, usually between preschool to around the third grade. His new book, “We’re All different but We’re All Kitty Cats” (dreamBIG Press, 2012), teaches children about accepting differences, bullying awareness and prevention and empathy. “The research shows that bullying can begin as early as three years old,” added Peter Goodman. “If it’s not addressed at that age, it will likely worsen in terms of intensity and effects as children grow up. The sooner we address the issue, the better off everyone will be, even the children who may do the bullying.”

My three-year-old son enjoyed this story. “We are all different but We’re All Kitty Cats, first Day of School,” would make a wonderful addition to any home or school library.
