His daughter found him dozing and threw her tiny jacket over his shoulders.
Fathers and daughters share a unique connection. Fathers who care about their children will always have your back and be there to cry on if you need them to. Even if it meant wearing a flower crown to your princess tea parties or playing goalie while you took another shot. Fathers typically teach their children to be analytical, goal-oriented, competitive, and pragmatic. They help us trust in ourselves and keep going after our dreams. These tables were turned momentarily in a video that is currently trending on Reddit. The video may even bring on emotional distress.
The video, which was first seen on South China Morning Post, depicts a man nodding off while adjusting the menu at his restaurant in response to the pandemic. His daughter saw this and very kindly wrapped her jacket around him to keep him warm. When the father finally awakes after his daughter has left the room, he finds out what has happened. The distraught man is moved to tears by his daughter’s selfless attempt to help him. Comments on the video mentioned how the girl’s act of kindness may have been just what her father needed to keep going with his hectic schedule.
A six-year-old boy showed extraordinary empathy and kindness toward his father by giving him a pep talk after a long day of being a parent. The video’s subtitles read, “After a 2.5-hour temper tantrum from the 3-year-old, all of our nerves were shot.” Take it from our six-year-perspective! old’s The boy is shown in the video sitting at the table by himself, with his arms folded in a prayerful posture, taking deep breaths.
While sitting across from him at the dinner table, his father asks, “Are you doing okay, buddy?” his dad asks, as he sits across from him at the table, looking absolutely dejected. The boy says, “Yes.” The father then lets out an “Oh my god,” and his kid replies, “I think we should take some deep breaths together.”
His father nods in agreement, and the two of them begin to breathe deeply. His father, unlike most angry parents, doesn’t just shrug off the idea and keep his bad mood going. A sigh of relief escapes him, and he says, “Oh my god,” again, adding, “Thank you, Daniel, you’re right.” It’s what happens next that really makes this friendship special. Having our children take the reins occasionally is a special experience.
Possibly referring to his irascible younger sister, Daniel says, “She’s crazy,” to which his dad replies, “I’m sorry, buddy, for losing my cool. Mommy and I keep trying to do better, set a better example, it’s just, this stuff gets frustrating.”
Then the child said, “Hey, Dad,” Just as soon as Daniel finished eating, he got up and gave his dad a big hug. Saying, “You are the best little guy in the world. Do you know how much I love you?” before melting into an affectionate embrace. Similar sentiments were expressed by TikTok users in response to the touching exchange, with some users writing, “This is why you’re amazing parents” and “This has me literally sobbing at 2 am.” Some parents may think it’s best if their kids never see them upset, but others find that being honest about their emotions fosters bonds like the one Daniel has with his dad.
