We had several parent teacher conferences this week, enough to fill a spreadsheet, and kindness came up in nearly every conversation - He works well with peers in all sorts of group settings. I knew he'd be the one to pull to partner with the new kid. He always checks in at the end of the day to see how he can help.
There were comments about effort and potential too, and I'm afraid I'm still looking for some kind of optimal high care / low control parenting, but I will say this, even without reinforcement of the notion from their teachers, I know it's true. The boys are nice. As for matters of character and consideration of the needs of others, I have no doubt. And isn't that what we need more of in the world?
