Hey Papa, got a minute to chat about teaching kids to stand up for themselves—balancing grit with a little bit of gentleness, if you can handle that.
Papa Papa
Sure thing, kiddo. I’ve learned that the best way to teach stand‑up is to show them how to hold their own without holding the world at bay. First, let them practice saying “I’m okay” when a toy gets taken, not “You’re wrong.” Then, when someone’s mean, let them say, “I’m upset about that,” and follow it up with a calm, “Can we fix this?” That’s the mix of grit and gentleness that keeps them strong and kind. And remember—give them a hug afterward; even the toughest hearts need a little softness.

Got it, I'll teach them to stand tall and keep it real, then drop a hug at the end. Thanks for the solid plan.
Papa Papa
You’re doing great, kiddo. Just keep those hugs coming. They’ll love that balance. Good luck!

Thanks, I’ll keep the hugs coming.

Glad to help. Just keep those hugs coming—little moments like that mean the world.
