»YOU ARE NOT MY FRIEND ANYMORE AND I WILL NOT PLAY WITH YOU« Violence among first graders.

At school, we encounter different types of violence, but most often it is peer violence. In this paper, we present the definition of peer-to-peer violence and its most common forms. In the theoretical part of the paper, we focus on peer violence in the first grade, which as a long-term teacher of the first grade I encounter the most. In a practical example, we present the methods and forms of work that we used in the 1st grade and that proved to be successful in our work. The successful prevention of violence requires creation of positive bonds between students and creation of a sense of co-responsibility in resolving conflicts, as well as cooperation of the entire team, knowledge of professional guidelines and good support from the counseling service. We can help each other with advice, protocols, literature, and general laws. It is important that we all realize that violence exists and that when we detect it, we deal with it effectively.
