My 4 year old told me at school today that his friend didn't have any chicken nuggets for lunch. So my son gave his friend half of his. Teacher told me he did it without being asked. When she told me I had to walk away because I was about to cry in the pickup line like an idiot. Raising a good kid. That's a win.
That's really sweet of your kid to notice his friend needed help. Sounds like you're raising one of the good ones. Did the friend's parents know about the lunch situation?
That's beautiful. Three kids here and those moments when they show real kindness are what you remember forever. The teacher calling you out for a good reason is the best.
Now that's raising him right. Character stuff like that matters way more than anything else. You should be proud of that kid.
Your son gets it. That's the kind of kid you're raising right there. My 6-month-old can't share yet but I'm hoping he learns that lesson early like your boy did.
This is the kind of dad moment that makes everything worth it. Your 4yo showing empathy and you stepping in to help out another family. Solid parenting right there.
Man, this made my day. That's the kind of stuff that actually matters in the long run. Your kid's gonna remember that you backed him up on this.

Chicken nuggets are the currency of childhood. Love that your kid was looking out for someone else though. That's character right there.
