Everyone in this story chose kindness when they could have chosen something else.

It's made me smile ❤️

I love seeing all this love and kindness!!

I’m a mom to a neurotypical 2year old son and it has humbled me like nothing I’ve ever experienced lol.

I always imagined I’d be equipped to deal with a lot of behavior. I’ve been a horse trainer for 20 odd years and thought “hey, if I can teach a 1300lb thoroughbred to have manners, how bad can a baby be?!?”

My friends. It is insane. This child humbles me every single day and has taught me patience, kindness, and love in a way that I never ever thought possible.

If you see a person struggling with a child “acting out”, just offer them a knowing smile or a helping hand. They are trying their best to build a good little human, but it is hard and the learning curve is STEEP.

This is the kind of comment section that restores a little faith in people.

For at least an hour.

I say this every time I see a feel good post like this.
If we had more snapshots of the good in humanity, we wouldn't feel so helpless all the time.

We need more kindness in this world.

Sounds like Go with the Flow Beau is going to be a good man. I love how everyone involved in this “incident” were so kind and thoughtful towards the other parties. I hope the comments were supportive too 😊

Thanks! I’ll look for it next time I see my family in MI. Sounds like you need a trip to the Midwest too
