I wanted to reach out after hearing that your child came home from school with yet another scratch on his face. This marks the second incident this week, and I can only imagine the frustration and anger you must feel. How could my child hurt your child like this? I share your desire for this to stop, truly I do.
When I see that mark on your child’s face, my heart sinks. I am deeply sorry that my child struggles to express his emotions appropriately, and it pains me to know that he has hurt his best friend. Others may label him a bully and speculate about the environment in which he is raised. I assure you, we are a typical family, just experiencing the usual sibling squabbles, homework battles, and mealtime disagreements. There’s no underlying violence here, just a strong-willed child—something I can only attribute to my genes.
I genuinely appreciate your patience as we navigate this. My son is a work in progress, and we are told that with the right guidance, his strong personality can become a tremendous asset in the future. I hold onto that hope tightly! We consistently reinforce positive behavior and correct the negative ones, praying each night that tomorrow will be better.
I empathize with you, my friend. Each school day brings a mix of worry and hope: I worry that your child won’t be hurt and hope that my son can walk away when he feels angry. It’s tough to accept when your own child is the one causing harm, even at such a young age. I cling to the belief that this is just a phase; without that hope, I genuinely don’t know what I would do.
Please wrap your son in your arms tonight, give him a kiss, and remind him of how proud you are of him—just like I do with my boy after a good day without any hurting. Also, thank him for me for being such a wonderful friend.
I hope our friendship can withstand this challenging time. Could I ask for a bit more patience from you while my son continues to learn? He is usually a loving little boy, and there’s a reason your son keeps choosing him as a friend. Perhaps he sees the potential for a beautiful friendship in the future, one without any hurt, which I hope will blossom soon.
With love,
Your friend
