This literature review means to explain the importance of assertive ability in early childhood as an effort to prevent bullying. Bullying is one kind of behaviour that frequently experienced by children. This behaviour often makes children feel pressured and disturbed, even may lead to harmful behaviour. Bullying is typically practiced by older kids to kids that seem to be weaker. This bullying behaviour may hamper the development and affect the further development of the child. One way that can decrease the chance of bullying victims in early childhood is by growing and improving assertive ability since early childhood. Assertive ability is an ability to show rejection and resistance by communicating what the child feel as bullying victim.
