Teaching kids to help others fit in
CAROLYN HAX
tellme@washpost.com
While I’m away, read
ers give the advice.
On supporting a
socially awkward child:
The main approach
these days is to offer
social-skills intervention
to kids with the difficul
ties — to try to fix the
kid, in other words, to
better fit in. While there certainly is a
benefit to them, particularly for kids
with severe impairments, when it
comes to getting subtle social interac
tions right, there’s really only so far
these interventions can go. The kid is
still going to be seen as different by
his or her peers. And the more subtle
the issues are, the harder they are to
address.
In my dream world, interventions
would not focus just on the kid with a
disability or who is just socially awk
ward, but on all the kids in a class or
sport or activity. Regular kids, who
don’t have these challenges, may be
the most able to understand and learn
about such differences — but we
have to teach them to do this.
How many parents ask their kids
how they deal with the shy kid in
their class, or the kid who seems dif
ferent and strange? Why don’t we
teach all children to be open-minded
about their peers who are different?
Wouldn’t it be a better world if,
instead of focusing on changing a
square peg so it can fit in a round
hole, teachers and parents taught kids
to be compassionate and empathetic
to those square pegs? Encourage
kids to widen the circle of who fits in,
rather than putting all the responsibil
ity for fitting in on the
kids who are perhaps
the least able to adjust.
-B.
On dealing with
someone who won’t let
an issue rest:
Mom thought I had
lost my mind when I
transferred to Texas
because California was too expensive.
Every week in our Sunday phone call
she would say, “Why don’t you move
back to California? Don’t you miss
it?”
My explanation (“Mom, I’d love
to but I have no job there, it’s too
expensive, I have no friends there
anymore, it’s just not possible,” etc.)
fell on deaf ears.
Finally I’d had it. I said, “Mom,
remember how you used play golf
before your back surgery but you
can’t do that anymore? How would
you like it if I asked you every week:
‘Why don’t you play golf anymore?
Don’t you miss it?”’
She was silent for a moment and
then said “Oh. I had no idea I was
doing that.”
And after that, our conversations
(and our relationship) improved a lot.
— Texas
On friends who tax our patience:
I have a friend who I’ve known
more than 30 years. She suffers from
mental illness (in counseling, good
days and bad days) and due to health
issues is nearly homebound. When we
talk, she dominates the conversation
— oh, I can interrupt, or occasionally
she will ask about me, but when I’ve
had a few words, the conversation
goes right back to her and her issues.
Yet she often thanks me for the
calls, and I realize that our calls
aren’t about me. It’s an opportunity
for her to connect to someone she
cares about. It IS about her, she needs
someone to talk to. And I’m OK with
that.

Opening lead: Ace of k?
The East-West auction came to an
abrupt halt, leaving South with a close
decision — should he sell out or bid
three spades? The auction marked
his partner with reasonable values, or
else the opponents would have gone
on to game, and he was likely to
catch enough spades to have a useful
fit. The danger was in pushing the
opponents to four hearts with such
little defense. In fact, it would have
required excellent defense to hold
East-West to nine tricks in a heart
contract. Interested readers can work
that out for themselves.
Three spades it was and South was
relieved to buy it there. A diamond
shift at trick two would have defeated
the contract but that was hard to
see. West continued with a “safe”
second heart and declarer was in
control. South ruffed, led a club to
the king, and ruffed dummy’s last
heart. The ace of clubs and a club
ruff eliminated that suit also, and a
low spade put West on lead with no
winning defense left.
A low diamond was ducked to
East’s queen. East could cash his
high trump, but then had to yield
a ruff-sluff or lead a diamond into
dummy’s ace-10. Nine tricks either
way, and a well-played and well-bid
hand.
