Chip
was
in
the
first
grade
when
I
arrived
at
his
school
as
a
counselor
（辅导员）
.
It
was
shocking
to me that he was described as an angry,
uncontrollable and
evil
（道德败坏的）
boy.
How could such a little boy, after
being in school only one year, be considered
next
several
months,
I
came
to
know
Chip
well
enough
to
see
that
he
was
neither
evil
nor
uncontrollable.
But, one day, Chip threw a chair at his teacher
and was sent to my office. I asked him what
made him do this. He replied that his
teacher hated him. He felt there was no way to
ever get her
to like him. I asked him
if he would tell his teacher this. He nodded, and
we called her into my
office.
When
the teacher came, . He then said that he
knew he was a very, very bad boy, and he
didn't think anyone could ever like
him. His teacher listened to him with heartfelt
compassion.
Then she gave him a big
warm hug, telling him she didn't hate him at all
and, actually, she cared
very
much
about
him.
Only
sometimes Chip's
behaviour
really
scared
her.
It
was
clear
to
both
Chip and me that she really meant
it.
I put my left arm on
his shoulders and the right hand on his heart. I
told him how wonderful
and lovely I saw
him to be. I praised how special and brave he was
to express his hurt feelings.
As I was speaking to him, his whole
body came to rest on my right hand next to his
heart. It was
a moment in time unlike
anything I had experienced before. From then on,
I'm pleased to see his
behaviour
improved through the rest of school
years.
A
child's
mind
is
clear
and
sensitive
（敏感的）
.
He
receives
whatever
others
say
without
protection.
It
is
as
easy
to
consider
someone
hopeless
as
it
is
to
consider
him
able
in
his
own
special way.
