'Just because a child looks 'normal' doesn’t mean there is not a battle going on in their brain, and that is so important for everyone — teachers, friends, relatives — to understand. Here's what I’d like my child’s teachers & classmates to know about him.'
, extra funny, extra loud, extra caring, extra attentive, etc., means he is bullied by some while other kids steer clear of him to avoid the same.
If your child is like my son, you avoid asking about if he made any new friends. Had he made a friend, the excitement of finally being accepted would be beaming across his face; we would already know our kid had exciting news.When the day comes that he makes a new friend, we will worry.
So on behalf of countless other parents, I beg you to talk to your children. Teach them to be kind and accepting of differences. Tell them to stand up to the bully picking on kids or telling other children to leave kids out of the fun. Encourage them to play with the kid on the buddy bench. Don’t let them be the bully or be the bully’s “bystander.”
One person, one friend would make a world of difference for my son. One person, just one, would turn around his whole world. Today, as I plan for another school season, I make the wish that I have for the past five years: “Please let him make just one friend.” We may not be able to change the whole world, but we can change one person’s world. Be the change you want to see.
