This broke my heart

sparkys2boys wrote: I just picked up Logan after school and could tell right away something was bothering him. I asked him if all was ok and normally he would not say (it takes alot for him to open up about anything) he says mom.. today Ander and Chandler said they made a deal there are not my friends anymore He was been friends with Ander (a girl) since grade 1 and Chandler was new to the school this year and they hit it off right away. It took alot for Logan to make friends and still only plays with a select few and he was soooo upset aout this. HE told me that at recess and lunch he sat outside by the fence all by himself the entire time And then to top it off he mentioned it to his teacer (MAJOR accomlishment) and he walked away from Logan I know that teachers can't get invloved in every little squabble with the kids but he knows how much LOgan struggles with this and that he gets very hurt easily and yet he said nothing, not even a encouraging word I tried to tell Logan that they will forget about it and that kidsa do that some times but he is so upset and it breaks my heart because I know how hard it is for him to begin with and right now I am sure he is thinking that he won't have any friends or that he will have to try and make mew ones I'm just as upset as him I think. Sorry this got so long

lisar replied: I asked about this same problem on here a few days ago. I have no advice just encourage to make new friends and tell him they will forget about it and they will be friends. HUGGGGSSSS to him though. I know it hurts. It did me to when Lexi had this problem last week.

I agree with Lisa try to encourage him to make some new friends.

grapfruit replied: I think I'd be a little perturbed at the teacher. Yeah I agree next week they'll all be friends again. But the teacher's other job, IMO, is to be there to listen to the kids. Be a sort of councilor when things aren't going so hot for them. How else are they ever going to find out if there are problems at home, if they're unstable, or just plain needing help to cope w/a childhood squable, like in this case. They'll never know if they don't listen.

How many school tragedies could we of prevented if we just listened.


(just so you know, I was using those as an example. Obviously, some of that doesn't pertain to Logan, I'm just trying to make a point.) Personally, I'd talk to the teacher and voice my displeasure. I really do think part of their job is to be a safe person to talk to. He let Logan down, IMO.

sparkys2boys replied:
NO I agree with you on it all, no offence taken or anything..lol. I would have thought that knowing Logan has trouble with being shy he would have at least said something encouraging to him. I am going to leave it for a few days and see what happens and if it doe not sort out then I will speak to the teacher.

grandma replied: Yeah, I remember Lisa posted almost the same thing last week. Kids are so pure at this age, happy go lucky and then bam...their best friend hurts them. I guess we can't protect them from everything, even at an early age.
You just have to teach him that nothing is wrong with him and that friends come and go and that you can never have too many friends.
Hugs to you Sparky, your a good mom!

My2Beauties replied: oh my goodness my heart is breaking for Logan right now. I really hope that they make amends with him and let him know they are truly his friends. Kids can be so cruel

luvmykids replied: Poor Logan I know kids do this kind of thing, but it's just rotten and I hope the fences mend quickly

sparkys2boys replied: Thanks you guys. I am sure it will all work out tomorrow or so. I just felt so bad for him and I know my words meant nothing to him and probaly didn't make him feel any better.
