Don't be a Bully

It is never too early to start discussing with your children the concept of bullying. A recent article reports that girls are “bearing the brunt of a rise in US cyberbullying.” According to the National Center for Education Statistics, there’s a rise in cyberbullying nationwide, “with three times as many girls reporting being harassed online or by text message than boys.” Bethel ELC has an anti-bullying policy and is committed to creating a school culture that encourages students, teachers and parents to disclose and discuss incidents of bullying behavior, both experienced and witnessed.
