On theme 5 about relationships, we were talking about feelings and how important it is to share them with others. We also talked about bullying and how it hurts others’ feelings. And there was a child who wanted to share his feelings and, all of a sudden, he started to cry so hard, expressing that he had been bullied before and reminded him that all his feelings needed to be shared with adults to be able to seek help. I just felt at that moment I wanted to cry with him and give him a big hug, but I just thanked him for his sharing and how important it is to share these feelings.
