Helping Others

I’m thinking about having A over here today. I want to have him over because I want to help him. A is hyper and he doesn’t do what he’s told or listen. I want to teach him good things instead of bad things. He got that way from not being taken care of in his home, and I think he just needs help. He’s not doing it on purpose. He’s doing it from his past. He didn’t have people take care of him when he was at his house so now he doesn’t want anybody to help him. All that can change.
If he comes here today, we should do the opposite of anger and kill him with kindness. We can hold him and rock him, and we can play with him, and give him good times instead of bad times. He’s going to get into stuff when he’s here and he’s going to do bad stuff but I don’t think that he’s just trying to be naughty. He’s just doing it from his past because he wants attention too. So he’s trying to do things negatively to get people to pay attention to him. If we give him good attention, we’re probably going to confuse him because he’s used to negative attention.
I’m not sure if A is going to come here because my mom hasn’t decided yet because she’s tired from having B here for two days. I helped my mom take care of B and I wished that he was my child. I cried when he left because I loved him very much and wanted him to stay and live here with us so that he could have a happy life. My mom said that he will get a lot of love in his new adoptive home, but I still worry about him getting hurt in his new adoptive home. I worry because I don’t know the adoptive family and it’s hard for me to trust that someone’s going to keep B safe and feed him when he’s hungry. I still have a hard time trusting people because it goes back to my past. I trust my family but it’s still hard with other people. I just want B to be safe and I want A to come here so we can try to help him too. If nobody helps him he is going to have a very sad life and he’s probably going to do bad things. He might not get the care he needs because most people in this world are not very patient of taking their time to help children that act naughty.
A isn’t just naughty. He needs a lot of attention and one on one time. I hope that my mom decides to bring him here because I would show him love. Everybody needs love, even if they are a pain in the butt because love changes people and it changes the world.
