Our bright, empathetic, amazing 10 yr old has been showing some bullying behavior online with a friend. I'm crushed that the kid I hold up as an example of how all kids should treat others is "that" kid. I'm mad at myself for not knowing what she has been doing during the day.
She is grounded from her iPad for a few days. We’re writing to the other parents to let them know what we’ve found in her texts and apologizing. It’s nothing severe but concerning enough for us to intervene.
She is a mess with guilt and self-hate. The whole situation sucks and is a good example of expecting too much of kids right now. She has all the support in the world and it isn’t enough to keep her from making bad decisions.
She is so angry about missing the end of 4th grade and now missing the excitement of moving to the middle school building for 5th. Knowing the art and dance programs she would be experiencing are not going to happen. I’m so sad for her and the loss she doesn’t know how to process
I’m scheduling some therapy appts for her to have an adult to talk to. There will be tight restrictions on iPad and internet access for awhile. Thinking about ways to get her moving physically when I’m struggling to do so myself.
Our kids are struggling. Our families are struggling.
Wear your masks. Make your families wear their masks. Stop gathering with people and spreading the god damned virus.
Vote. Vote this administration out so these kids have a chance at normalcy.
