Feeling a bit down today. It seems that a classmate is throwing a hall party with entertainment, and there doesn’t appear to be a limit on guests. Unfortunately, my child didn’t receive an invitation. It’s tough to understand why this happens, especially to a 5-year-old!
Is there a double standard at play here? My friends and I are openly gay at school, and today, one of my friends was called down for using the f-slur, which we only say occasionally—maybe once a week.

It’s also a good opportunity to plan a fun activity for your child at home or with other friends to help lift their spirits. Remember, it’s not a reflection of your child’s worth; kids this age often feel the ups and downs of changing dynamics. You’re doing your best by being there for your child!
