Speak up, Stand together and Stop bullying.


Learning about kindness, compassion, and caring for those around us starts as early as infancy. At BestStart Ascot, it is something that we like to incorporate into everyday life, something that has become a habit and the norm for our tamariki. Even so, the anti-bullying campaign gives us a moment to remember, share and support those around us to be kind and caring. It is a time that we reassess ourselves and how we are acting to our peers and our friends, a time of reflection, a time to remember to speak up, stand together and stop bullying. 

The children were so engaged, and we talked about various things we can do to support one another and how we can help each other out in different instances. We talked about smiling at each other, understanding that not everyone is the same and celebrating those differences, and what we like people to support us with when we are upset. 

We came to the conclusion that food and sweet treats make us happier, but also being pampered and taken care of, hence our little hair salon. We talked about writing cards to one another and showing that we care. It is better to give than to receive. 

Taking the time to stop and consider is not always easy and is not easily remembered. However, being there to show and be a role model for our tamariki is very important, and we love these instances where we can engage and unpack this idea more. So remember, speak up, stand together and stop bullying - doing our little part to make all this a better future for our tamariki.
