It's Never Too Early to Talk About Bullying

I have strong memories of a girl who bullied me during many of my school days. (We attended all the same schools.) No one paid any attention. I wonder how those days would have been so much better if the issue of bullying had been seen as an issue back then. I can only applaud the work that is being done nowadays. But parents, it is up to you to talk to your child, to make sure s/he is not a victim, to make sure s/he isn't the bully. To educate yourself first, education.com has several good background articles on the topic.
