Gifts for children 2
Another child's birthday gift story.
When my daughter was 3,
"Mom, take me to the big supermarket in front of the station. I've been invited to a friend's birthday party, so I want to go pick out a handkerchief."
As you say so, we went together.
The handkerchief was about 500 yen.
"Your monthly allowance is 300 yen, isn't it? This is more than a month's worth, isn't it?"
"It's okay. I saved it."
It's kind of annoying,
"If you think that handkerchief is good, let's do it. Also, your mother will make a tissue case for both of you. Embroider your name. Why don't you put a handkerchief in it and give it as a gift?"
When I proposed, my daughter was pleased.
With the strawberry pattern, I made a cute one with my precious red button of dead stock.
They took the matching tissue case with them wherever they went.
But one day an incident.
My friend's tissue case is gone.
We searched everywhere, but couldn't find it.
One day, Pipi-chan (pseudonym)
I saw you in the bathroom.
They went to the bathroom and found a tissue case thrown into the toilet.
While washing with water
"I'm sorry, Sally's (daughter's pseudonym. I tried to make a cute monkey) mom made it for me."
My daughter said, "If you tell your mother, she'll make you a new one. Should I ask her?"
"Good. I like this and it's important."
It makes you cry.
I heard this story from my daughter.
Well, who is the culprit?
It's easy to understand. It's Pippi-chan.
Pippi-chan, I really wanted to be friends with my daughter,
My friend and daughter who were bullied became friends more and more,
But she was afraid of bullies and couldn't say she wanted to get along with her daughter.
My daughter was friends with a bullied child.
You couldn't make friends because you were bullied.
That's why I couldn't help but be happy with the matching tissue case.
It wasn't a new one, it was good.
There is also such a feeling of taking care of things.
Well, Pipi-chan is tough.
Why did the murderer get caught in the first place?
It was transmitted to the homeroom teacher that the tissue case of a friend was thrown into the toilet bowl of the toilet,
"I was found in the women's restroom, so it was the work of a girl. All girls should come forward."
As a child, even if you lie, your eyes will swim.
Barebare.
My homeroom teacher hung Phi Phi in front of my classmates.
I ve always wanted to be friends with Sally.
But Sally and Robin-chan (friend's name, a pseudonym) became friends more and more, but I was afraid of bullies, so I couldn't say I wanted to be friends with Sally-chan, and I was jealous of Robin-chan's tissue case! "
Pippi-chan cried...
There were a few bullies in the group.
My homeroom teacher didn't know there was a bully group.
Actually, my daughter was also bullied, but she was so strong-hearted that she said, "Mom, I'm okay. You don't have to worry about it, and I have many other friends. I haven't done anything wrong, so it's strange to worry about it."
I said it.
And she responded like that, and then one day the bully group stopped bullying her.
I thought my daughter was amazing at that time.
Robin was a responsive kid.
But when I was with my daughter, I became more and more calm.
My daughter said to Pippi-chan.
"If you ask your mother, she'll make you a tissue case. Should I ask her?"
It seems that Pipi-chan shook her head without saying anything.
I got worried and called Pipi's mother at night.
Pippi-chan's mom didn't know anything,
"When I got home from my part-time job around 8 o'clock, the lights weren't on. I thought, 'Is anyone here?' Then, Pippi was crying in her bed."
Pippi-chan was crying all the time until 8 o'clock when she came home from school.
I was angry at the lack of delicacy of my homeroom teacher, but that doesn't matter.
I wonder what I should have done to take care of Pipi-chan.
I heard that my daughter and Robin invited Pippi to play several times,
He didn't even play once.
I wonder what kind of adult Pipi-chan has become.
It was my pleasure to make a tissue case for my daughter and Robin, and I have no regrets.
No one said anything strange, "It's because I'm making that."
Why do you think my daughter was bullied?
She had a lot of clothes made by her mother and cute clothes that she received as hand-me-downs, and her hair was always braided, and her speech was neat.
When the bully came to visit, he said he didn't like that about his daughter.
I heard from Pippi's mom.
It was just jealousy.
That group of bullies.
I wonder what kind of adult I have become.
このお話は、子どもの友情や物を大切にする気持ち、そしていじめという複雑な社会問題が重なる現実を映し出しています。娘さんが友達の誕生日プレゼントに選んだ500円のハンカチは、お小遣いの範囲を超えたものでしたが、自分で貯めたといういじらしい姿勢が光ります。そこに母親が手作りの苺柄のティッシュケースに刺繍も施してプレゼントとして加えたことで、単に物を贈る以上の深い思いが伝わりました。友情の象徴とも言えるお揃いのティッシュケースは、子どもたちの日常に彩りを与え、どんな場所へでも一緒に持ち歩くほど大切にされていました。 しかし、そのティッシュケースがトイレの便器に投げ込まれるという事件が発覚。犯人のピピちゃんは、本当は仲良くなりたかったものの、いじめっ子グループへの恐怖から素直に気持ちを伝えられなかったのです。このように、子どもたちの心の中にも人間関係の難しさや感情の複雑さが根付いています。担任の先生によるクラスメイトの前でのつるし上げは、ピピちゃんの孤独と苦しみを深めただけであり、教育現場におけるデリカシーの重要性を強く訴えています。こうした体験は、子どもの発達に大きな影響を与えるため、大人としてどのような支援が可能かを考えるきっかけとなります。 また娘さん自身もお母さんの手作りの服や言葉遣いの美しさから嫉妬を受け、いじめに遭いましたが、自身の強い心で乗り越えたという点は学びが多いです。子どもが自分らしくいられる環境づくりや、家庭での愛情と安心感が彼女の心の支えとなったのでしょう。 本記事からは、子ども同士のプレゼントを通して浮かび上がる友情の繊細さや、心の成長、そしていじめ問題への対応の難しさについて知ることができ、子育てや教育に携わるすべての人にとって貴重な示唆となります。今後も子どもたちの複雑な感情や人間関係に寄り添い、適切な支援を考えることが求められます。
