\u201cThat\u2019s bullying,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere did you learn about bullying?\u201d I asked her.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt my school,\u201d she said. \u201cBullying is not nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019d been told that schools were being more proactive about dealing with bullying these days, but it\u2019s nice to already see a confirmation. I\u2019m glad that Sally will be attending public school (starting this fall) at a time when bulling is taken more seriously before, and I am confident that her public elementary school will continue to build on the lessons she\u2019s received from her preschool teachers.<\/p>\n

As a homeschooled child, I spent many hours in teacher\u2019s aide stores, and it is that experience that draws me back to them today, which children of my own. Science books, various supplies, educational games\u2014teacher\u2019s aide stores are the best. Last month I was at our local teacher\u2019s aid store\u2014again\u2014when I noticed a teacher\u2019s manual for a bullying-prevention curriculum. \u00a0Curious, I pulled it out and flipped through the pages. I took pictures of a couple pages to show a friend, and I\u2019ll reproduce them here:<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m incredibly thankful to see these issues being addressed today. The sort of bullying that got a pass twenty or thirty years ago won\u2019t always get the same pass today. There is increased understanding of mental health issues, teen suicide, and the dangers of bullying. In an increasing number of schools, children are no longer told to simply \u201ctoughen up.\u201d I\u2019m glad that Sally likely won\u2019t have to worry about the level of bullying she might have faced in the past, but I\u2019m also glad that Sally will be learning empathy not only at home but also in school.<\/p>\n

When I watched The Parent Trap as a child, I knew that what those girls were doing to each other was mean, but mostly I just thought it was funny. It was a series of pranks, put together for laughs. Today, it is interesting to see a child of the next generation watch the same movie but with a different response. I find it hopeful.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
