Teach *wise kindness*, not blind kindness. You don’t need to dim his light — just help him **set boundaries** and **read situations smartly**. Here’s what you *can* teach him: 1. **Kindness with Boundaries** → “It’s okay to say no when you’re tired or uncomfortable. Helping others shouldn't hurt you.” 2. **Reading Intentions** → Help him observe patterns: Does a friend only come to him for help but never offers the same? 3. **Standing Up for Himself** → Being assertive is different from being rude. Teach him to use clear language like, “I don’t like that,” or “That’s not okay.” 4. **Self-worth** → Reinforce that his needs matter *just as much* as others’. It’s not selfish to prioritize yourself sometimes. 5. **Street-smart Confidence** → Talk through “what if” situations — like what to do if someone mocks him for not sharing, or how to deal with a pushy peer. --- In short, **don’t raise him to be mean to survive — raise him to be *kind and strong***. That balance is rare, and it will make him both emotionally rich and resilient. #kindkids #meankids #parentingtips #mombloggers #parentinghacks #parentsupport #parentcoach #parentingadvice #parentsupportgroup #parentsupportingparents
