Daughter asked me for help with her math homework and actually listened

Not gonna brag too hard but I explained how to do long division and she UNDERSTOOD it. She didn't get frustrated, didn't give up, and then she did three more problems correctly on her own. She even said 'thanks dad you explained that way better than my teacher' and I'm still riding that high 24 hours later.

Congrats dude, that patience paying off is huge. I'm still figuring out how to teach stuff without losing my mind, so this gives me hope.

That's such a good feeling when it clicks for them. My daughter finally got long division last month and I felt like a genius even though I was just explaining it.

Getting her to not give up is honestly the bigger win than understanding it. That's the stuff that matters later on.
