You should wantch this presentation from nine year old James. It’s from a special edition of Dragon’s Den for Children in Need, where young people pitch their idea to the hardbitten suits.

His idea is to encourage children to look out for lonely kids and befriend them – and offer prizes in return. It may have been done before, but that’s not really the point.

This very young man is tapdancer, and understands how being different can stop you making friends. Look at how he delivers it, think about how being all nice at that age can mean other kids will shun you,admire his bravery and I challenge you not to feel a lump in your throat.

    Frankly he did a brilliant job of presenting that idea.
    Especially considering he was the youngest there in front of people that would make even the hardest presentation pro feel nervous.
    You felt sorry for him, but absolute admiration for not only carrying on with something he believes in; but for actively doing something to help people in a similar position. A nine year old kid putting a huge chunk of adults to shame.
