Thank you to my friends at Eagle Elementary for a great discussion on bullying! I got an all-star welcome and joined the students for a conversation on what to do when you see bullying in your school.
At one point, as I stood in the center of 500 elementary students, I walked around asking how they can be a leader in their life. You would be amazed at all the ideas they came up with; helping your parents with chores at home, inviting a new friend to sit with you at lunch, helping a peer with their homework, giving someone a compliment...they had a million ideas. The more we talked, the more hands shot into the air. We decided that you are never too young to start engaging in leadership. It can begin in Kindergarten and become a habit that helps you grow stronger every day. Once someone knows the power of their positive actions, they are sure to become a key player in improving the world around them. And, when you build a positive world, the negativity of bullies will have no place.
