6-Year-Old Boy Refuses to Return to School After Being ‘Traumatized’ by Teacher; Mother Makes Heartfelt Plea
A mother named Trish Khea Yudan Bulosan recently shared the heartbreaking experience of her 6-year-old son, Aaron, who is now afraid to go back to school. According to Trish, it broke her heart to see her young son crying and sitting alone in the classroom—long after his classmates had already gone home.
The reason? Trish says Aaron was scolded and embarrassed by his teacher just because he couldn’t immediately follow instructions during a writing activity — something very normal for a child his age. That moment seems to have deeply affected him, and now he refuses to go back to class out of fear and shame.
At just six years old, Aaron is already carrying emotional pain that could impact how he sees school and himself in the long run.
In a Facebook post, Trish wrote:
“As a parent, it’s heartbreaking to see your child that afraid. He didn’t do anything wrong — he just couldn’t understand the lesson right away. Instead of guiding him, he was humiliated. I wish that instead of using harsh words, we chose to be more understanding.”
She also shared that this wasn’t the first time Aaron had shown hesitation about going to school — but this incident made the reason clear. Despite the pain and frustration, Trish chose to speak out calmly, not to attack anyone, but to ask for deeper compassion and sensitivity from teachers — who play such a big role in building a child’s confidence and trust.

A Reminder for Everyone:
Children like Aaron are just starting their journey through education. Many of them are still learning how to read, write, and understand ideas — and more importantly, they’re still learning how to handle emotions.
As parents, teachers, and guardians, it’s our duty to build their confidence, not break it. To be patient, to guide, and to lift them up — not to scold, embarrass, or scare them. Because in a young child’s heart, one harsh word can leave a wound that takes a long time to heal.

A Mother’s Plea:
We’re not asking for trouble. We’re not even angry. We simply want more understanding for children. Before raising our voices, may we choose to raise our compassion first. Before losing patience, may we remember that the slowest learners often need the most patience — not punishment.
To all teachers — thank you for your hard work and sacrifices. But please, in the middle of all your responsibilities, don’t forget that every child standing in front of you has a heart that hopes, a mind that fears, and a dream waiting to be nurtured.
And to children like Aaron — keep going. Your worth is not measured by how fast you learn, but by your courage to keep trying.
