S1 E40 Adult Bullying: When did it begin and how can educators be fundamental changers in this paradigm?

Have you ever been bullied as an adult? Were you also bullied as a child? Adult bullying comes in many forms and sometimes we don't even recognise it. The person who takes a parking place from us as we're about to turn into it, someone who won't let us go ahead on the checkout line when we have one item, a partner who demeans any request we have to strengthen the comfort level of our relationship, a supervisor who uses degrading terms and abides by unforgiving schedules to control us, a neighbour who dismisses requests for respecting those around her.

And how did these adults become bullies or rather - when? In most cases, this started from their childhood. And why wasn't it stopped, curbed, dissipated? In most cases because the teachers were not trained in how to reteach these misled souls to be kind to themselves, first and foremost, so that they knew how to be kind to the people around them.

This podcast explores a specific case of adult bullying and how then some specific tools educators can use to begin the process of stopping this type of misdirection in its tracks at the youngest ages.

This a not-to-be-missed quick and energetic exploration of the origins of bullying and how we can be enormously impactful and proactive in the face of it.
