[quote=Anonymous]I work the grill at my child’s school at parent-grill events. There’s always one boy who ends up spending a few minutes talking to the parents. They love it. He’s smart and articulate, but it’s always small talk. I wondered why he spent so much time this way, and I realized he’s lonely. I tried to ask him things that went just a hair beyond small talk. Something as small as feeling like he wanted to see how many fries he could stuff in his mouth would give the other kids something to relate to. It would also give him an opening to understand other kids. But nothing. It seemed like someone had taught him to be a smart and kind, but neither of those make friends. Kindness prevents bullying or falling out with friends. Being smart helps them in school.[/quote]
