Have I told you today
that it is beautiful that you exist?
My mother just told me that this is what she tells her elementary school students every day. That it is beautiful / good (schön) that they exist.
And needless to say, they love hearing this.
Why? Because their parents don't tell them this.
Sometimes, when parents come for a conversation, they start telling her what their child can't do, is bad at and has trouble with.
She then has to stop them to be able to tell them the good things.
That their child always enters the classroom with a smile. Is always friendly and compassionate towards others. And that there's nothing more important than that. I love this realization.
