The Importance of Teaching Pre-K Students about Bullying

A major issue in today’s school is bullying, making it imperative to teach students about the effects of bullying at a young age. Addressing the topic of bullying in my prekindergarten classroom will make the children aware of the issue along with teaching them the effects and consequences of it. I will discuss the different feelings and emotions associated with bullying in order for the students to be able to recognize when bullying is occurring. My discussions will emphasize the importance of verbal communication and managing their anger. Teaching the children how to verbally communicate their feelings and emotions will hopefully minimize incidents concerning bullying within the classroom. In order to engage the students in the discussion , my students will do visual activities concerning bullying in order to show them exactly how to handle certain situations. It is my hope that through the use of discussion and creative activities, my students will learn the effects and consequences of bullying.

  1. Bullying is a major problem today, basically as much as it has been in the past. Teachers should teach students more about bullying because this problem, which some dont take seriously, is a very serious problem that I believe can be prevented or a least yielded by teachers.
