My 5th grader just came back from a week long school trip out of the country. We gave him $25 for souvenirs and some separate money for snacks at the airport and for the week.
He came home using his $25 and change with a gift for me, dad, and souvenir for himself. The gifts for us was spot on what we like. We were so surprised, because we assumed he would spend it all on himself. He told us he used some of his snack money to tip the tour guide and bus driver. We always tip on tours so he sees us doing it. We did not tell him to tip them before the trip. He also said he gave his 2 friends a few bucks because they needed it. I’m so happy that he is shaping up to be a thoughtful and kind kid! |

My teen is very handsome and athletic, but also painfully shy. A lot of teachers type cast him as a dumb jock because he's often afraid of participation.
He's a really good friend often to kids that don't have many friends. He once got caught in a PE teachers crosshairs because of a friendship with a kid that was having a hard time who was also overweight. That PE teacher was targeting both of them. He's at a pressure-cooker school and one of his teachers noted how he brought smiles to the classroom. He also has "perfect pitch" but doesn't show it off or talk about it. He can pick up instruments he's never played and, by ear, play a song. He can also transcribe a song into written music by ear. He's battled a chronic disease for almost a decade and you'd never know it. He's not afraid to talk about his disease and doesn't hide the evidence of it. It's just there, as a part of who he is. |

| My teen is not a great student but he modeled for his school’s fashion club magazine and he got a certificate for a national exam in an obscure language. It’s the little things! I am glad he put himself out there with the club. |

Maybe you are in a dark place because you like to put down other people and things. I mean really you want to lift people up by putting down good grades and sports trophies? You seem like someone who only appreciates feminine traits so what if someone here wrote this and then said I appreciate this more than great drawings my kid made or having a great singing voice. You would notice they were putting down others while putting up their own child, no? |

OP here. I think you’re just trolling, and I’d prefer to keep this thread positive (keep them coming!), but let me clarify. At the risk of sounding like an a-hole, my kids get good grades and do well in sports. So that was referencing my own kids and not putting others down. But I care more about the fact that they’re thoughtful and treat their fellow human beings well. |

| My 6 year old with autism is delayed in some ways, but then surprises me with his independence. He’s been insisting on walking upstairs alone to tutoring at the library, and I always sneak behind him to make sure he gets there. We arrived before the tutor for once and I found him asking the librarian where to go for tutoring. I was so proud of him for being focused on what he needed to do (not wandering off to play) and being brave enough to ask someone he doesn’t know. |
