Hi Cody,
Thanks for your reply. That’s a really interesting comment. I think having those skills taught at an early age would have been very helpful to me in the long run. Worth noting, though, I would have absolutely hated it as a child, feeling bullied or subjecting myself to being bullied based on my sensitive responses at the time. I think it is something that would have to be introduced very strategically at a young age for the best response, but would have great impact in a student’s adulthood. I believe teaching this kind of open dialogue and acceptance of feedback early-on has the potential to make for better functioning teams in workplaces overall.
