![]() ![]() I read her message to me several times and then asked her to email me. She had so been looking forward to the opportunity to have a positive interaction with this child, and the outcome was not what she had hoped for. ![]() She was now writing to me because she didn’t understand what had happened, what she had done wrong. “Perhaps the next one will be better.” But the reaction was the same from the child, every time. She immediately thought that perhaps the child did not like the gift and offered to return or exchange it for the child. The child cautiously opened the present and said thank you as she set it on the table, not paying much attention. ![]() As she handed the first gift over, she felt her stomach drop. She said she was elated when it was time for the child to open the gifts. When the child walked in, she was greeted with a smile, and the two sat and chatted, school, homework, the upcoming holiday break. She arrived early, arranged them just so, and proudly adjusted her nametag. ![]()
