שלום וברכה!
אודות
בנה שי' – תשתדל שיהי' ככל האפשרי בחברת ילדים בני גילו, ואין כדאי להזכירו ע"ד האב ע"ה (באם אין שואל אודותו) כיון שזה מוסיף במתח החיים שלו.
באם אפשר כדאי שתמשיך בשטח ההוראה. וה' יצליחה.
28 Tevet, 5731.
Shalom u'Vrachah!
Regarding your son — you should try to ensure that he spends as much time as possible in the company of children his own age, and it is not advisable to mention him to his father (unless he asks about him), since this increases the father's life stress.
If possible, it is worthwhile for you to continue in the field of teaching. May Hashem grant you success.
Summary
The Rebbe emphasizes the importance of a child's social environment and advises minimizing unnecessary stress for family members. He also encourages continuing one's positive professional pursuits when possible.
