3. Offer To Let The Bad Kids Join In The Fun

Image says, "I offered him chalk, but he shook his head & watched us quietly. The next day, I heard his stepdad screaming at him & he sent him outside. I eventually realized he was sent outside to play alone when his stepdad was sick of him. He was 10 & seen as a menace on the street." — Image from X (Twitter).

It doesn’t always work immediately, but an offer to let the child join you might be the first time they have felt “wanted.” Most bad kids will decline initially, but it is a process. Doe discovered that the boy didn’t have a great home life.

4. Talk With Your Children And Offer Second Chances

Image says, "Before now, I had told my oldest to stay away from him because he taught her some awful habits she'd never done before, as she started joining him in destroying things. I realized I messed up & told her that, apologized, & asked if she'd give him another chance too." — Image from X (Twitter).

If you’ve instructed your children to avoid the bad kids, have a new talk with them. Explain to them about second chances. Don’t be afraid to tell your children you may have been wrong. Second chances can be a new beginning for everyone.
