My daughter's year head requested an informal meeting

So I popped into her office yesterday after our dance club session had finished. Slightly in trepidation, given daughter's mixed disciplinary record 馃槓 But it was to tell me that my girl is going to be made a junior prefect and anti-bullying advocate. At the beginning of last week she and her friends stepped in to help a younger girl who was being picked on. They confronted the bullies, removed the girl from danger, and reported the incident. More importantly they let the girl join their group and involved her with their activities until she had regained her confidence. The girl's parents contacted the school with a message of appreciation and now all three girls are going to be recognised in assembly.

My daughter kept quiet about all of this. But I think I'll be allowed to raise the subject when she gets home today 馃槉

@MommyLucy She is and I love her to bits 馃 I asked her about it when she came in an hour ago. She just smiled and shrugged and showed me her new prefect's badge (which she seems proud of). Her teacher says that none of the noisiness, cheekiness and untidiness that she is sometimes in trouble for really matters when she cares as much as this about other children. I agree completely 馃槍

That's great hun and it doesn't surprise me one bit... Be proud, be very proud馃グ

@Convivial Today I am so happy to have her as part of our family. The best part is that she is scarcely aware when she does things like this. I sometimes despair at her lack of logical thinking when she does silly things impulsively without thinking. But that same impulsiveness drives her to help other people when there is no obvious benefit to herself. Emotional intelligence is better than all my college learning put together 馃挅

@SunshineGirl yup...EQ is oft times overlooked...

@Strictmichael75 I've only been looking after her for a year, so most of it is down to her 馃槉 But I'm over the moon . . and secretly glad that I don't have to have another word about talking in class, running in the corridor, etc 馃憤

What an awesome post this is. The world is in such dire need of people like her.
SunshineGirl36-40, F
@ineedadrink Thanks! She has a natural empathy with people. She will literally have done that without thinking.
ineedadrink51-55, M
@SunshineGirl And you describe her as a natural leader so even more awesome.
Well done for her, I hate buying.
