Told my daughter I was proud of her and she cried happy tears

Mar 5·1 min read

She's been struggling with math all year and has been really hard on herself about it. She brought home her report card today with a B in math after tutoring and studying her butt off. I told her I was so proud of how hard she worked and didn't give up. She immediately got all teary eyed and hugged me so tight. Man I'm still thinking about it. These moments are the whole thing right here.

That's huge. Math confidence is everything at that age. The fact that she knows you believe in her will stick with her way longer than any test score. How'd she do on the next assignment?

Those are the wins that matter. Keep showing up like this.

Those moments hit different as a dad. Happy tears over real effort and improvement, that's what it's all about.

That's the good stuff right there. A B after struggling all year is huge progress and she should feel proud. You did the right thing saying it.

This hits different. My oldest went through the same thing last year and honestly those moments where they finally see themselves the way you see them are everything. Proud of you for being that for her.
