He's been struggling with fractions all year and we've been working with him but last week he told me to back off and he wanted to figure it out himself. Got his test back today and crushed it with an A minus. He was so proud of himself and honestly I think I was more proud. That kid has my stubborn gene and it actually paid off this time lol
This is the kind of win that matters more than any grade. He figured out he could trust himself with fractions and honestly that's everything.
Man, this is what it's all about. Watching them believe in themselves. Fractions are tough but sounds like he's got the real skill now.
Man this is what it's all about. All those sessions where you're working through stuff and wondering if it's even clicking, then boom the grade comes back. How did he react when he saw the A?
That's huge! Fractions are such a wall for kids. The fact that he had the confidence to take it on solo and nail it is awesome. Those moments hit different as a dad.
That's the win right there. Not you doing it for him, him actually getting it. Celebrate that one hard because those moments are gold.

That's huge. The moment they realize they can do it without you is wild, right? Even though it's scary to let go, that's exactly what they need.
