, we will worry. Will this be that one friend who turns our little one’s whole world around? Or will this one fade away, too? Is this person a true friend or someone taking advantage of his heart of gold? This is the heart-breaking truth of many children and parents.
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.
