Abstract

This paper is a reflection about the importance of early intervention in the peer rejection behaviours, in order to prevent violence and bullying. Reference is made to an intervention carried on in kindergarden. In this experience, sociometric techniques were used to find pupils at risk, and through systematic observation in the courtyard, we find children involved in aggressive behaviour in the playtime. There is a relationship between the status of "rejected" and involvement in aggressive behavior toward peers.
