Expert Interview: Peggy Lee talks to NoBullying on Bullying Today
London, UK (PRWEB) February 19, 2014 -- NoBullying talks to Peggy Lee, Founder of Little Sunshine Academy, on bullying and cyber bullying in today’s world. This is one of NoBullying’s Expert Interviews Series released today.
Peggy Lee grew up in Vancouver in a nurturing environment with traditional family values. It is her goal to revisit these values, enhance them with a strong moral compass to round out a solid foundational education. She believes in giving children a structured, nurturing environment to lay a foundation to propel them toward excellence in every aspect of life. Peggy believes in revisiting the traditional childhood when children are encouraged to explore the world around them. “It’s not just about academic achievement, but a celebration of each individual child, the whole child.”
Peggy firmly believes in the emergent negotiated curriculum. The teachers at Little Sunshine Academy are researchers, collaborating with the children to arrive at a curriculum that is highly individualized, guiding them towards excellence, in both life and academics.
Peggy Lee explains in the interview what goes on in the mind of a bully and also goes on to talk about how bullies should be dealt with at school and at home. She warns about the long term effects of bullying and cyber bullying and encourages parents and caregivers to open lines of communication with children to save them from the sad outcome of being bullied or even becoming a bully.
She says, “(With Cyber Bullying) It is much easier for me if I don’t know you, I never see you and I honestly don’t care about you to say something that is bad and mean but it will become some much more harder if I actually see the person.”
Macartan Mulligan, Co-Founder of NoBullying.com, said, “We sat down with Peggy Lee as we are concerned about online bullies that are sadly targeting children all over the world.” He added “We want children to enjoy the world of the internet without facing the sad reality of online bullies and to go to school happy without fearing bullies.”
He added that parents and teachers should make a point to educate the younger generations about the sad outcome of bullying online and off line. According to Mulligan, it is quite imperative to press for more firm laws condemning all acts of bullying and harassment.
