Feeling Left Out
My child’s class is having a fun hall party with entertainment, and it seems there’s no limit on the number of guests. However, my little one didn’t receive an invitation, and it breaks my heart. I can’t help but wonder why anyone would exclude a 5-year-old like this.
Did I get possessed by a demon? I was sitting next to my friend while our teacher was in a bad mood, so we started passing notes. He wrote, “I’m pissed because the teacher suspects me for no reason.” For some reason, I ended up writing, “the teacher is racist.” I hesitated so many times […]

It could help lift your child’s spirits and create some wonderful memories together. You’re doing a great job supporting them through this!
