[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bully behavior has definitely increased in younger girls. Friends with pre-schoolers and K-1 are complaining a lot about Queen Bees and Mean Girls their kids are encountering. [/quote] I think it's a pretty normal yet unpleasant phase that kids have to work through. They discover relational agreesion. [/quote] But they shouldn't be working through it alone -- the adults in their lives, including teachers, should be teaching them how to interact kindly with others. I wonder if the increased academic expectations at younger ages, including more pressure for everyone to be reading by the end of kindergarten, eliminates time to teach social emotional skills, which allows mean girl behavior to go unchecked.[/quote]
