I think this video is an excellent reminder that it takes a village to raise our kids. It is important to offer that support to kids outside your family as well - you can make a difference in a child's life by noticing them and supporting their efforts.

I believe that bullying can start young and spiral into something bigger if it is not addressed when it is first noticed. If a child is being bossy and bullying in kindergarten they will think that behavior is okay and it will continue throughout school. My daughter is the only child and when she was younger I noticed that she would be bossy when she would play with other kids. I spoke to her about it and thankfully we don't have that issue as much now. I highly recommend watching the movie Bully on Netflix, it was truly an eye-opener. I also had my 7 yr old watch it as well.

Yeah....

It's definitely something that we need to keep our eyes on.  We can't just ignore it and think everything is going to be okay. 

One of the things I have come to realize with bullying is that once upon a time, it ended with the school bell. Now with electronics, and social media, it continues all the time. It's important to be aware of your child, offer support and include their friends. Building a community of awareness helps our youth feel more secure.
