I am not sure how to post this so that there is absolutely no chance that the person in question would find it and feel exposed.
I subbed for a class the other day that was working on persuasive writing. They were supposed to write a persuasive essay about something they would really like to have from their parents. As I was helping one student structure the essay, the only thing that s/he could think of that s/he wanted was for her family to spend more time together so that they would love each other more and not fight as much. I almost cried as I worked with him/her.
And, the question came to me, how could I help this child? I am a sub and I don't have any chance for long term input. I told the teacher next door about the essay. And I looked for a counselor (but didn't find one). I wrote a note to the regular teacher, but, due to many factors, she probably won't be able to follow up on it much.
So, there is this post. Please love your family.
