I think many parents have those little moments that give them a glimpse of how their parenting is shaping their child. For me, it was a combination of things. One day, I caught my kid sharing their toys with a friend who was visiting, and they seemed genuinely happy to make someone else smile. It struck me that they were showing kindness and empathy without being prompted.
Another moment was when they stood up for a classmate who was being teased at school. They didn’t hesitate to speak up, which made me realize they were developing a strong moral compass and understanding the importance of standing up for what’s right.
Finally, seeing them express gratitude and appreciation for the little things—like a meal or a family outing—made me feel like I was nurturing a good heart. It’s those small yet powerful moments that really reinforce the idea that I’m raising a thoughtful and caring individual. How about you?
