A few months back I asked for prayers for a student of mine who was in a state of crisis, who had a shadow appointed to follow him around the school all day to keep him from hurting other students. He has really improved in an amazing way. I’m amazed when I see this students smiling in the hallway and initiating ways to be actively kind and respectful to his peers. When his classmates do well at something, he congratulates them and encourages those that fail instead of bullying them.
Now I’m hoping for a similar recovery for another student. This child is only just six years old. He lives with his grandparents who he calls mom and dad. He seems to absolutely hate being at school. He is distructive to other people’s property and will randomly begin screaming, hitting others, and destroying things in order to disrupt a lesson that he doesn’t find interesting. I suspect he might have “oppositional defiance disorder”, though I hope not because in the past, when a student has been diagnosed with ODD, everyone seems to give up. It’s almost like they say, “Oh, ODD. There’s no cure for that. I guess we just put up with it.”
Anyway, I hope you will pray for this child, that he gets the help he needs and begins to feel happy at school.
