Parent Mentoring

"In one of the families in Rishon Letzion, there was a brilliant child in every sense of the word, from an educational, social and behavioral point of view. His family members took such pleasure from him. During one of the family events, people started talking about the industrious child, the polite child who helps." Suddenly the grandfather started saying opposite things about the boy, and the boy heard his grandfather speaking. The boy was so hurt from his grandfather’s words that he ran away, and from that moment, the boy's behavior began to deteriorate.
His grandfather’s intention was for the boy’s good. According to his tradition, there is a matter of the evil eye that so many people talk about and it can have a detrimental effect. That's the way it is when two cultures clash. "
A proverb in Ethiopia says about it:
"የአንዱ አግር ዘፈን ለአንዱ አገር ለቅሶ ነው"
“A song in one country is heard as a cry in another.”
