About the Campaign
Through research, it has been found that the best way to address bullying is to stop it before it starts. Early childhood bullying is rarely addressed or acknowledged. If adults don’t know that bullying happens among young children, they won’t see it or stop it. The coloring book addresses these incidents that are often overlooked.
This interactive campaign provides the backdrop for childcare facilities and educators to promote positive behavioral traits through illustrations. Each coloring page is used as a teachable moment to recognize and reinforce expected behaviors, including positive character traits, use of kind words, and the value of teamwork. The scenarios will discourage bullying behaviors and teach the skills and strategies needed to become resilient against bullying. This campaign also assists early education and childcare facilities in preventing bullying from occurring, reoccurring, or intensifying.
