Sadly, bullying has become a reality for most elementary, middle school, and high school students in the U.S. According to recent research, more than 90% of students in grades 4-8 report having been harassed or bullied, with as many 160,000 students missing school each day because of bullying. *
Talking about bullying and providing coping strategies early on can help young children prepare for and know how best to react to a bullying situation. Introducing the topic in a safe, comfortable environment, like story time, can make the conversation less stressful.
