On last week's episode, we answered a frequently asked question, which was: What are some strategies to reinforce kindness, acceptance, and inclusion at a young age? In today's episode, we have Tess, a kindergarten teacher who will be answering the exact same question. She has some great insight to share, so let's get into the episode.
>> In order to promote kindness and empathy in my classroom, we live by two simple rules, the first being to treat each other the way you wish to be treated, or the Golden Rule, and also to treat each other with respect and kindness simply because every child and every person has worth and merit and meaning, and every child and every person is loved and cherished for who they are, so every child in my classroom will treat each other with respect so that they can get the respect they want in return and also because they know that every person has meaning and worth and is loved just as they have meaning and worth and they are loved. I also value the idea as well of mistakes. The child decides to make a poor choice. It's not the end of the world. They can work together with me and the peer to become a kinder person and make better choices in the future, because I believe that the world needs to be kinder, but it needs to be more forgiving, so we all can create and grow a more peaceful existence.
>> And that wraps up this week's episode of Pacer Talks about Bullying. Thank you so much to Tess for being in this episode. We'll see you right back here next week, and remember, together we can create a world without bullying. See you.
