My boy apologized without being told to
Small thing but big thing you know? He pushed his sister off the couch, I watched it, and before I could even say anything he got up and genuinely apologized to her. Told her he was wrong and asked what he could do to make it right. That's not something I taught him in one conversation, that's just three years of consistent parenting showing what honor looks like. We're doing something right.
That's huge actually. The fact that he recognized what he did and made it right without prompting means the lessons are sinking in. You're raising a good one.
This is what it's all about. Not the big dramatic stuff but these quiet wins where they prove they're developing their own conscience. Keep an eye out for more of these, they usually come in clusters.
