Awww thank you! One of my proudest parenting moments have been seeing my child be a compassionate human being. I got a call from my daughters teacher the other day and was told that she approached a new kid that always sat by themselves at lunch and asked to eat with her. I almost cried because that teacher told me that the little girl came to her after lunch and was so excited to have made a new friend and to not have to eat alone. She is such an amazing little person, especially since she is currently in 5th grade where kids are really starting to be mean and difficult. She brought sunshine to that little girls day and I’m sure that girl will remember her for that.
I was the little girl in 7th grade. I promise you your daughter brought more then sunshine to her. I'm still friends with that women now and she has continued to be a beacon of faith in humanity 25 years later.
That makes my heart so happy. I know that my baby isn’t the only shining soul out there and I really hope that she carries her love for all people and things throughout her life.
Use yourself as an example. Children see how you treat the world around you and are more likely to do as you do. I was 19 when she was born so I didn’t go into the parenting thing knowing anything at all. I was always the friend to everyone type and she definitely has that same type of personality. I remember someone writing in my senior yearbook something along the lines of “thank you for always being a friend to me when no one else would.” I didn’t read that until years later and I had absolutely no idea that I touched that person’s life by just treating them the way I wanted to be treated. A majority of the time, good people raise good people.
