When my son ran to comfort his crying baby sister, I saw something I wasn’t expecting: pure empathy, zero hesitation—and a parenting lesson I didn’t know I needed.
One of the most beautiful parts of parenting is realizing how much of what’s best in us—empathy, wonder, connection—has been there from the very beginning. Watching it unfold in real-time is a gift.
So awesome. When they emulate what my wife and I do with their toys or each other, or even with us it's adorable
Immediately after hitting post on this my 2yo son smashed a hard water bottle over my 4yo head 😂
Emulating you and your wife? 😂
😂😂ya got me there
Beautiful man. He sounds awesome.
I blame the parents 😉😁
It’s funny—when he does something beautiful, I think, “There’s no way he got that from me.”
But when he’s a little booger, I see myself immediately.
He's being selective about which parent he follows 😂
Lovely! This highlights that humans have an innate capacity for empathy, that is then developed through life experience. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Yash!
