Were Big Bullies Once Little Bullies?

Were Big Bullies Once Little Bullies?

I felt like I had to revisit this Blog in light of what I wrote on Karma. I write thru spirit and so until it tells me that there is no more coming, I really have no idea until I re-read the stream, exactly what has come forward.  I so do see a correlation between the adult bullies of today and the child bullies that have evolved into adulthood.  You see this negative behavior that adults demonstrate in their actions to hurt and harm others, did not begin for the most part in their adult status.  When we allow children to develop these character traits of unleashing emotions and thoughts that are warped in negative and destructive behavior towards other children, we are doing them a huge disservice! We have to look at what has transpired in a child’s life or what the child is modeling that would ignite this behavior in them.  It is full of anger and feelings of inadequacies! It is living their young life in a body of pain instead of a body of joy that is their birthright! We must search for the root of the pain and take action to help the child heal. It requires lots of observations and lots of conversations.  It involves letting children draw what they are feeling when there are no words only feelings. Then it is about affording them the time and space to interpret what their picture is saying to them and about them. 

What did Mommy always say- “ A picture is worth and million words”.  Children are not complicated!  Children are real and when not threatened they are honest and unmasked.  They see you! Do you see them? Perhaps it would be wise to –Stop! Look! And Listen! The challenge will be not allowing yourself to re-interpret what they are thinking or feeling.  You have to step into the vibration of childhood and feel their feelings.  Then the course of action will move forward.  If you are honest with yourself as they are with them selves, you will innately know what the next step is. If not, then you must be willing to reach out for support.  There is a small window of influence so don’t let things be ignored or swept under the rug! We don’t want little bullies to grow up to be Big Bullies!!

The Old Post on Bulling:

Teachers and Parents-Beware of Bullying! Teaching Children to Love and Respect Each Other-

Teaching and Parenting: Bullying-What is our responsibility as teachers and parents?

This Early Childhood period of development is critical in so many areas of development! It is the only time in a child’s educational experience that there is a conscious and intentional decision to provide children with a curriculum that embraces teaching a child what it is to be a whole, healthy, happy socially and emotionally sound human being! We must teach compassion, empathy, inclusiveness, acceptance, love and generosity of spirit. We must teach cause and effect! We must teach responsibility for our actions. We must teach remorse for negatively impacting another person thru teaching empathy. We are as parents, teachers, and extended family and friends are influencing and imprinting on the soul development of our children! Who do we hold a sacred space for them to show up as in their life as adults in this challenging world? Will they have the tools and character to be contributing members of society or are we setting them up for failure and pain because they are lost to us, and their divine calling? We have work to do!
