“…Monks and Smith (2006) addressed this limitation by using a visual methodology: introducing children to a set of stick-figure cartoons depicting peer interactions, finding that young children aged 4-6 years and aged 8 years labelled all aggressive behaviours as bullying. Using the same visual methodology, Ey and Spears (2017) confirmed that young South Australian children aged 4-8 years could not distinguish between bullying or aggressiononly scenarios, also finding they failed to identify the three key elements associated specifically with bullying: power, repetition and intent to harm. Similarly, Helgeland and Lund (2016) reported that 4-5-year-old children described bullying as only 'doing or saying something mean' and did not articulate the key components which identify bullying behaviour (p. 1).…”

“…Since young children do not clearly understand bullying in general (Hegland & Lund, 2016) and some young victims may not even recognize that they are being bullied (Ey & Spears, 2017; Monks & Smith, 2006), it is crucial to help young children prepare themselves by having an accurate understanding of and attitude towards bullying. In this study, reading and discussing bullying-themed stories helped children build a solid foundation of understanding the victims, bullies and bystanders.…”

“…The participating children discussed and identified how to stand up for themselves as well as how to deal with the issues in constructive ways, such as expressing their feelings and speaking in a confident voice (Levine & Tamburrino, 2014), and reporting or asking for help from adults (Davis & Nixon, 2011; Rigby & Johnson, 2016). While it is of importance for children always to seek help from an adult when they feel unsafe, some children might hesitate to do this because young children are confused about snitching or telling on somebody else, which they have been told not to do (Ey & Spears, 2017). Thus, teachers should remind children of the difference between bullying and conflict, and explain the necessity of reporting bullying, which helps them to be safe and is different from tattling.…”
