It brings me joy to read this.
This popped up on my Facebook Memories page recently. It's a note a friend of mine received from a student.
Never pass up an opportunity to validate the ego of a child. The way in which it will improve the world may not manifest for decades, but it will.
Kids are so vulnerable, and so open to the input from grown-ups, not just parents, or teachers like Mrs. Stanley, but from all of us. They trust us to help them form the self-image they will carry for a lifetime. It is so easy, yet so precious, to take a moment to make sure that our little offering is in the affirmative.
