Re: children and threading
Easy to say for those who have never been bullied.
Ive been bullied since I was in grade 1… from skin colour to hairy arms, for being different.. anything. And its not a nice feeling.
We can spend hours with our child telling them to be proud of themselces, accepting who they are, not worrying about what others think… and even if they get it for the time being, and even if they know what you’re saying is right… at the time ur being bullied, none of this make sense. None of this actually helps.
We all want our kids to be confident in their own shoes… but if something is really making them feel down, and if we can do something about it, as a parent, then why not?! As a parent, we have a responsibility to our child… not only to make them good human beings, and teach them self-love but to also prevent them from being hurt, prevent them from nastiness… help them when they reach out. I wouldnt want to ignore my child’s feelings and not have her come to me again… I want her to be open with me.. share her hurt and her pain so I can help her.
