Today a child in the class I work in did a brave thing, sticking up for another child that was being teased by a classmate. She was not aware that an adult saw or heard her do it. She just did it because she is a sweet little lady who did not like what was happening and refused to stand by and watch.
A little bit later, when I had a chance to tell her without any other kids hearing, I let her know I saw her stick up for this child, and told her that I could see she had a very big heart and that she had done a great thing. I am not sure what lit me up more... Her actions when she defended her classmate, or the huge smile on her face while we talked about how big her heart is.
