Sometimes, hard lessons or experiences need to be had in order to shape and mold them into the person they are destined to become.<br /><br />I have family members who tried so hard to protect their kids, that they did not allow for natural consequences, decision making, etc. to happen, and now their kids do not know how to cope, make decisions, or accept any consequences for their actions, because their parents always "took care of" everything for them.<br /><br />That being said...I am EXTREMELY protective and loyal to my kids...This kid seems to be a "toxic friend," so I would not waste anymore energy on him...Tell J to be kind, and polite, but it is not necessary to be involved in this boy's life if it is going to cause the stress it seems to.<br /><br />Hurt and disappointment can be taken two ways: Being offended, or learning to be a kinder, more compassionate person.<br /><br />J is lucky he has a mom who loves him so much...Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18308067748781060331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16367916.post-47898773652578013852006-11-05T10:02:00.000-07:002006-11-05T10:02:00.000-07:00It can be so hard for kids.

I hope things are going a little bit better.

The siscors and the hair was in the girl who sits in back of her's desk...<br /><br />and the girl denied it, and her mother belived her.<br /><br />What a dotto head.<br /><br />anyway..<br /><br />I am sorry that J is struggling so.<br /><br />He is almost in intermediate school. When he gets there, I promise it will be SO much better for him!<br /><br />Keep your chin up.<br /><br />Love ya!Lisa M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01015215401481176075noreply@blogger.com
