Proud parent

My daughter won the spelling bee in her school today. She is in 4th grade, and the competition was for the 3 best kids from each grade 3 through 8. This is a school record - never had someone so little win the school comp

Just wanted to brag a bit

Cheers

It's awesome when your kids do well, especially when it's school work!

Be careful though, my mum always said "Never brag about your children cause you don't know what they've just done or what they're about to do."

Give her a big cheer from me. Great to hear about children doing well in school.

So true - I was thinking about this... It was more of sharing with the community, not so much bragging, but I know what you're saying. I think I am guilty of "bragging" with my kids sometimes - but not too bad, I hope. I'll watch out more, though

ps I am not even big on spelling, I prefer kids to learn to think, not cram words

It wasn't a criticism at all. I'd be doing exactly the same and it's always nice to hear others good news.
