Bullying, the act of willfully causing harm to others through verbal harassment (teasing and name-calling), physical assault (hitting, kicking, and biting), or social exclusion (intentionally rejecting a child from a group), used to be something parents didn't need to worry  about until their child was a tween. Now it has trickled down to the youngest students. In fact, some research shows that tormenting has become even more common among 2- to 6-year-olds than among tweens and teens.
The YWCA asks that you speak with your children regarding bullying. We've have major concerns in the past and are working to develop stricter policies within our programs regarding these issues. Please help us avoid these issues by talking with your child(ren).
