“I see things too, like how you smile less with me than with other kids. I see how Daddy’s forehead gets all creased when he is yelling at me... I want Daddy to know I am not stupid, and it hurts my feelings when he asks, ‘Are you dumb?’'
“She’s a very popular girl, but some people say really mean things about her.”Kids can be mean. I asked him how he felt when he heard people say things like that. “It makes me feel bad for her because I know how I feel when people say mean things about me.”
“What do you think people say?” I asked, expecting him to shrug and say, “I don’t know.” He said the following instead:“I hear them say everything they think I can’t hear. Like the sigh when I tell them I forgot myagain. I hear them mutter things under their breath when I am fidgeting in class. I hear frustration in their voices. I’d like them to understand I am not trying to make them mad.”
“I want Daddy to know I am not stupid, and it hurts my feelings when he asks, ‘Are you dumb?’ I want you to know I don’t like it when you yell. I hate when I ask someone a question and he says, ‘It’s none of your business. Stop interrupting.'”
