Yall know he is a kid right?? Kids at this age would learn nothing from an adult lecturing them about empathy especially if they deem every adult besides their parents as low or irrelevant. I know, I work with kids. I think the method she used was understandable. Is it perfect? No. But is it a method that can yield favorable results? Yeah. Are there other methods? Probably. But this method can actually help troubled children and its not like the heavy loading is done by the girl, she's mostly just being herself, making a friend while he is being exposed to more than beyond his own experiences and existence which is a human experience all of us go through. Yall act like in this world we never bump into other people who have problems or issues naturally and develop kinship with them or maybe it turned out bad but thats natural, part of growing up. The social state of a child is very fragile and easily influenced, if teachers or guardians add into the mix "friends" who can influence them in a good way, it shapes the child's social skills. Could this end badly for either child? Possibly. But it could also end wonderfully. I think its important to remember this is a story and stories, are most of the time, built on hope and positivity so try to take on that lens rather than dumb it down to reality which is unpredictable and unexpected most of the time anyways.
