Writing exercise

Write about one kind thing your kids did to others that made you proud

Once when my son played in an amusement park, a little young baby scratched his face. I thought he would be cry by it but he smiled and said, “It is O.K.†I surprised about his feedback at once and I saw the young baby’s mother also surprised about my son’s kind behavior. I am always proud of my children’s kind behavior to other people. In my opinion, a person who is kind to others must have a warm heart.

Before I wrote this article, I have ever considered this question thoroughly. I am always proud of my children. It doesn’t depend on other people’s judgement. They try their best and do themselves. It is more important than satisfying parents or people around them.
