Just witnessed my son stand up to a bully at school

Picked him up from school and his teacher pulled me aside to tell me that my 9yo stood up for another kid who was getting picked on. Didn't get physical or anything, just told the bully to stop and stood next to the other kid. I've been trying to teach him that standing up for what's right matters more than being popular. Looks like it finally sunk in. Best day ever as a dad.

This right here. Teaching your kids to do the right thing even when it's hard - that's the real win. Sounds like he learned well from you.

That's the kind of moment that makes all the parenting stuff worth it. You're raising a good human being who stands up for what's right. His teacher seeing it is the cherry on top.

We're reading Harry Potter to our kids right now and this is exactly the kind of character building we want to see. So proud of your son for being that person.
