My daughter, Grace, came home from first grade in tears. Worried about her, I asked what had happened to her. She was sobbing and said, “I felt So... so sad that the mean boy Dylan called me names (骂我) again.” I hugged her tightly and comforted her softly. I asked if she had told her teacher about it. Grace nodded and said, “Yes, my teacher punished him seriously and required him to make a sincere apology to me immediately. Although he did that, he’s still not polite to me.”
Looking at Grace’s tearful eyes, I racked my brain, trying to think of a way to help her. Grace were bullied by a seven-year-old boy. In most cases, for young children, bullies may be acting out because they are hurting or feeling that others aren’t kind to them. By reaching out and showing them friendship, we have the potential to change their behavior and create a more wonderful environment. I know, as parents, we can’t always protect our children from the challenges they face, but we can teach them the value of kindness and encourage them to be a force for good in the world.
Then an idea hit me. “Maybe we could be kind to him. We know an old saying that good for good is natural while good for evil is manly. After all, Dylan is not a born bad boy.” I suggested although I wasn’t sure if it would make a difference. Grace thought for a while and agreed. From then on, she would say hello to him in the hallway, clap hands for him while Dylan was playing basketball and sometimes helped him with some weak subjects. Unfortunately, nothing seemed to change on Dylan over the next two weeks. Feeling rather disappointed, I was lost in deep thought, trying to find a suitable way to deal with the situation.
The other day, Grace’s teacher phoned me to praise my daughter because of her kindness. I was curious and asked Grace about it.
