Children entering school need to build healthy peer relationships; school, however, is the central place for bullying. School nurses have a growing focus on providing care for students with social, emotional and behavioural problems. We examined the relational development of children at school entry in regard to aggression and empathy, showing that teacher-reported aggression decreased between Pre-primary and Year One, while empathy increased between Year One and Year Two classes. No gender difference was found in teacher-reported total, or covert aggression. Understanding how development of empathy can be supported in children at school entry is important, thereby supporting development of pro-social behaviour and decreasing bullying. School nurses must understand the importance of surrounding children with safety in relationships as they begin school.
入学儿童需要建立健康的同伴关系；然而，学校却是欺凌行为的高发场所。学校护士越来越关注为有社交、情感和行为问题的学生提供护理。我们研究了入学儿童在攻击性和同理心方面的关系发展，结果表明，教师报告的攻击性在学前班到一年级之间有所下降，而同理心在一年级到二年级之间有所增加。在教师报告的总体攻击性或隐蔽攻击性方面未发现性别差异。了解如何在入学儿童中支持同理心的发展很重要，从而促进亲社会行为的发展并减少欺凌行为。学校护士必须明白，在孩子们开始上学时，让他们在人际关系中感受到安全的重要性。
