As children grow older, they don't always learn the lessons they're meant to learn. Sometimes, they can even pick up bad habits. They can be mean to their peers without realizing that they're hurting another person.
That's why it's up to us, the adults, to teach them right from wrong, and how important is is to apologize for being mean.
Mom Zowiie Williams knew she had to find a way to make her son understand that his actions toward a female classmate were not nice, so she made him realize that he had to apologize to her.
In response, the young boy decided that the best way to do so was to show up to school the next day with flowers to give her.
What a sweet gesture and a touching way to apologize. We know he's going to grow up to be a fine young man!
You can read the mom's words in the post below.
When your son hurts a girl’s feelings, it’s our job as parents to make him understand how saying things out of anger & upset can make others feel.
Yesterday I was very disappointed to find out he had upset his special little lady due to another boy mate telling him what he should say & do.
So much so that I felt the need to have quite a good talk with him.
Today he is marching into school with flowers and an apology because I feel that we need to teach boys the importance of how they should react to certain situations.
Callum now understands that what other people think or say should not sway him into acting like he doesn’t care about other people’s feelings. Especially a girl!!
His head was high and he apologised in front of his peers and handed over the flowers.
It was a very proud moment for me as his mother.
It was a learning step. One I hope he will carry with him always.
Please SHARE if you think more children should apologize like this after being mean!
