That moment when your kid defends a friend against bullying

Nov 241 min read

Overheard my 10yo telling a kid at school to stop making fun of his friend for being bad at sports. The kid actually stopped. Teacher told me about it at pickup. I didn't even have to teach him this explicitly - he just... got it. Been riding high all week.

Dude enjoy this feeling because you just got a 10yo with actual character. Not all kids step up like that.

This is the kind of thing that lasts. Your kid probably made that kid's week and didn't even realize it.

Did the teacher tell you what specifically he said? I'm genuinely curious what worked because my 9yo just laughs when kids get made fun of

This is everything. The fact that he did it without being prompted is the real parenting win right there.
