Childhood bullying doesn’t just happen in the teen years — it can begin much earlier than many of us realize. That’s why it’s so important for young children to start learning bullying prevention skills early, before they ever need to use them. When kids are taught how to:✨ recognize bullying behaviors✨ speak up for themselves and others✨ seek help from trusted adults✨ show empathy and kindness they’re better prepared if bullying happens to them or if they witness it happening to someone else. Early education builds confidence, resilience, and compassion — and helps create safer, kinder environments where kids know they’re not alone. Prevention isn’t about fear; it’s about empowerment!

When bullying happens, it doesn’t just impact one child. It affects everyone involved — including those who witness it. The emotional effects can last far beyond the moment, influencing mental health, confidence, and overall well-being. Research shows that bullying is linked to increased risks of anxiety, depression, substance use, and even suicide. That’s why recognizing the signs, understanding the impact, and knowing how to respond is so important. In our Skill Prep Bullying Prevention class for kids, we focus on giving youth the tools they need to feel safe, supported, and empowered — learn how to step in, support, and guide kids toward healing. Every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and valued. Prevention starts with awareness and action. 💙
