The moment I knew I was doing something right
Overheard my kids playing in the backyard today. Oldest was helping youngest climb the tree and when he got scared, my older one said 'it's okay buddy, I got you, just like dad shows us.' Something about hearing them help each other the way I try to help them just hit different. We're raising good humans. That's a win.
This is gold. Your oldest naturally stepping up to help and encourage his brother, that's the kind of person you're raising. You should be proud of that.
