I am quite bothered by my son’s ‘love affairs’ recently. He likes a little girl in his after school class and likes to follow that girl during the class break and after class to try to play with her. But that girl seems not like him and sometimes was annoiced with my son’s behavior. I received complain from her grandma who accompanied her to class. In additional, I found that the girl together with some other boys made fun of my son during the break last week. I had tried to educate my son not to adhere to her any more which could not help him to make friend with others but would be regarded as harassment. He promissed that he wouldn’t talk to that girl but I thought he may not really understand this kind of thing. His mind seems not as mature as those boys or girls which also worried me.
