To raise a single child

I think I did not give enough attention to Danny. We did talk while we were on our way to school. He loved to tell jokes and I listened to him attentively. But once we arrived at school, it just changed.

He seemed to be worried when I was looking or staring at him. There was a barrier in a relationship between a son and his father. I did not give any special attention to him as I treated all the pupils the same.

He had to Que for food and drinks whereas I saw some of my colleagues had prepared them earlier for their children.

I wanted him to learn on how to handle things by himself without relying me too much.

I sensed that He was trying his best not to create problems in school. Is it because of me? I am not sure.

Am I too harsh? I still wonder..
