A 4-year-old adorable child sat down with his mother and had an honest conversation about emotions. The cute kid expresses himself to his mother with a surprising level of maturity.
He explains to his mother that she hurt his feelings. He tells her that his feelings affected his decision and “why he didn’t want to make this, a smart choice.”
The face-to-face conversation gets into the details of what made the child upset. He explained that he was crushed because he wasn’t able to go outside. His mother explains that not going outside was a consequence of his behavior.
The boy continues, saying, “But after I was a little bit sad, I was a little bit upset, more than you know,” the child says. His mom tells him that no one gets what they want all the time.
His mother talks about how everyone experiences anger and sadness. The boy responds, “That’s emotions, mamma.” It is hard to say no to this kid who seems to have figured out the meaning of life at the age of 4.
Very few kids this age can be this introspective, questioning their mother’s decision, and explaining the complexity of their feelings. It is fascinating to watch this 4 year old speak like an adult.
In the end, the mother and son seem to have reached an understanding, and some life lessons have been shared. It’s a touching moment that shows just how difficult motherhood and childhood can be.
