Celebrating Everyday Heroes: Rewarding Acts of Courage in Our Kids

Have you ever witnessed your child do something truly heroic? Maybe they stood up for a friend, helped someone in need, or showed bravery in a tough situation. When my son helped a classmate who was being bullied, I felt a surge of pride and gratitude. It made me reflect on how important it is to recognize and reward these moments—not just with gifts, but with heartfelt praise and quality time together. These rewards reinforce the values we hope to nurture: kindness, courage, and empathy. Sometimes, a simple hug and words of affirmation can mean more than any material prize.
