Admin’s Note

This bullying issue has made me reflect once again on the deep scars it can leave on children’s hearts. The impact on young children, in particular, is immeasurable. To ensure that such problems do not occur again, education in daycare centers and schools becomes even more crucial. As Chako mentioned, fostering kind words and a compassionate spirit should lead to the prevention of bullying.
