Dear Abby Assignment Week 11

1. Dear Abby,

My son hates school and his grades have declined sharply, but he won’t tell me
what is going on. I think he is having a hard time making friends and sometimes
gets picked on. Could he be drawing negative attention to himself? Are some
children more likely to be bullied? What should I do?

Bullied in Beaumont

Dear Bullied in Beaumont

It is important that you and your child can talk about this, congratulate your child for talking to

you because that is the right thing to do, also remind him that he is not alone and that many

people go through the same situation, and that you should find some solutions together, As a

mother be sure to talk with your child's teacher about this situation, as for your child to help him

gain more confidence in himself, maybe he can participate in a reading club, dance, theater or

some sport, when he feels that Other children have the same interests will help him to have a

better self-esteem and will allow him to know children just like him. Do not forget to observe

every day if your child presents any bumps or if his character worsens, that can be a warning

that the problems continue and there you should take other measures. I hope this helps you.

Sincerely,

Abby

2. This Dear Abby,

I’m a single mother. I get overwhelmed at times but seem to be doing all right. Do
children really need a father? My children have a male school-teacher, and they
occasionally see their grandfather. Isn’t that enough? What insight or suggestions
**Page number is in the header and at the right justification 2

do you have for me? Can any family type be equally successful? I don’t think a
mail-order husband is in the future for me.

Single in Sacramento

Dear Single in Sacramento

Let me tell you that I admire your work as a mother and the effort you make to take care of your

children, each family is different as well as each child, some do need to have a relationship with

their father, the fascinating thing about children is the adaptation, and understanding of the

situations that they live, if they feel safe and happy by your side you do not have to worry, your

family can be successful like any other family, if you feel that they need a father, you can talk

openly with them about your feelings and concerns, they will understand you. If in the future you

decide to marry again, make sure that this person brings happiness to your children and that

they feel safe with him.

Sincerely

Abby

3. Dear Abby,

My daughter is always comparing herself to others, and her self-esteem seems to


have been affected. She wasn’t that way when she was younger. What can I do? Is
that just a part of living in our modern world?

Comparing in Conway

Dear Comparing in Conway

I am very sorry for what your daughter is experiencing, that happens as the children grow up

and begin to observe other children with better lives, that is what society and the media tell us

every day, that there are better people that we, I advise you to help your daughter in this stage

that is passing, teach her and help her to value her achievements in her own growth process, it

will help her to have a healthy self-esteem and to eliminate a competitiveness that only distracts

how important it is to be yourself.
