Noah came home in tears yesterday. His friend from Kindergarten is ignoring him because another kid told him not to talk to Noah. Noah was so upset, he cried all the way home. It is so hard as a parent to feel powerless when someone is picking on your baby! For me in particular it was very very hard because it stirred so many old emotions from elementary school for me. I remember being the kid with the big coke bottle glasses and hand-me down clothes. No one wanted to talk to me let alone let me into thier games. I guess I thought I could help my own children avoid the same pain by making sure they are well dressed and thanking the Lord that they don't have vision problems but it doesn't seem to be enough. I am realizing that I cannot change the way that other people raise thier children or remove the nastiness of human nature. All I can do is pray for a better day for Noah, encourage him to find other children to talk to, and remind him that his family loves him and God love him ALWAYS!
