So Simple......But So Meaningful!
A
teacher in New York was teaching her class about bullying and gave them
the following exercise to perform. She had the children take a piece of
paper and told them to crumple it up, stamp on it and really mess it up
but do not rip it. Then she had them unfold the paper, smooth it out
and look at how scarred and dirty is was. She then told them to tell it
they’re sorry. Now even though they said ...they
were sorry and tried to fix the paper, she pointed out all the scars
they left behind. And that those scars will never go away no matter how
hard they tried to fix it. That is what happens when a child bully’s
another child, they may say they’re sorry but the scars are there
forever. The looks on the faces of the children in the classroom told
her the message hit home.
Pass it on or better yet, if you're a parent
or a teacher, do it with your child/children
