Actually he's able to express his feelings in front of his mother because she is listening to him without laughing .. she is not treating him like a kid at this point of time .. she's listening to his problems seriously ... Great parenting .. keep it up ❤❤
That's also a VERY smart kid.
I agree. The mom gave him her ears and heart so that he can freely express his feelings and reflect on his emotions. This is how great parenting helps kids grow cognitively and emotionally 😊
@@ngocdiemnguyen3914 yes exactly ❤
Yes you are right, every parent should watch this video, children respond to love and care not taunts and constant comparison or they will isolate themselves and it will be hard to gain their trust
Yes agree 100 %
“I chose to be a tiny bit mad”
Wow. He said “I chose to.” He’s incredibly intelligent and has an amazing understanding over his emotional responses. He’s a better communicator than most adults. Great job to the parents.
I like this style of parenting very much. "I chose to" (he didn't really choose to - toddlers can't regulate their emotions) but the implied "choice" gives him a sense of autonomy and power to self-soothe. Toddlers often feel powerless but there is a healthy way to instill power - make wise choices. Very clever parenting.
@@doomsdaymonster7 just because he can't regulate his emotions doesn't mean he 'didn't really choose to'. I know thousands of adults who can't regulate their emotions and you would never think of dismissing their choice. Just because he's a child doesn't mean his emotional intelligence isn't on par, his soul draws from lifetimes of experiences as he speaks and experiences life, just like we all do
@@litebrite8993 I don't believe in souls. I believe in science of developmental psychology, which can be replicated. Adults who cannot regulate their emotions are typically those with a chemical imbalance, organic pre-frontal cortex issues and amygdala pathologies or trauma. Great example from history is Phineas Gage.
Most toddlers cannot regulate their emotions due to underdeveloped brain. There is also not enough desensitization through experience. There are exceptions, just like with kids who have very high IQ, but I'm talking about most - which are the rules. Toddlers cannot regulate their emotions.
He needs to do the transition and start using fake pronouns.
He understands emotions better than a lot of adults.
Exactly. Really makes you wonder why there are age restrictions on people having romantic relationships

FBI needs to go through this man's computer
Because some adults still can't handle their emotions. Immaturity!!!🤷
We need to get him to Congress, just for an hour to talk those ........, there. We cannot leave him too long in the Room. They certainly would contaminate, him
i expected to see this comment.
now waiting for " we need more kids like him "
He is able to articulate his feelings because she listens and treats him with respect. Even the way she sits across from him, her body language tells him, he has her attention. She does not ridicule him and her tone is soft and kind. He will grow up to be secure and confident. Great job mama! such an awesome kid
I wonder if Mom is a mental health professional.
It does not guaranty anything at all...humans are complex creatures...
He’s able to articulate because his parents don’t seem to be interested in baby talking him for 6 years, unlike some families.
@@sifamuzimbe4266UPBRINGING, good or bad, starts at home.
His emotional intelligence, vocab. "That's emotions mama"😍😩💕my heart.
He could easily navigate dating older people
@@mr.horrorchild4094 huh?
Yes that's was Sweet.Peace

4 year olds don't have that level of emotional awareness this is obviously staged. he looks off camera after every line for cues.
He expresses himself well because someone is actually listening and responding to his words. Well done mom. Well done👏👏
Such a smart kid. It's ironic that he has figured that out at such an early age, while adults are still trying to figure out life.
It's okay that adults are still trying to figure out life, they probably delt with a lot during their youth. Its great to know that young kids in this generation are understanding life in a positive way. I also would like to say that there are adults in the world who are still figuring out life and while giving their own experience in life, their experience in life isn't over, it won't be.
Future counselor in the making!
He’s more mature than me. I just realized that i have anger issues. I bottle up my emotions cuz im shy and have low self esteem . When im full anyone who even just bump me a bit id take it all out on them. My reactions would be over the top and they dont deserve it. I wish id practice managing my emotions earlier. I give in to my emotions too much.
A very wise and sweet child! He seems very in tune with his emotions and how he feels.
@Golden Skyblue never too late to get help, my friend. Even if you can get therapy, right here on RUclips you can probably find thousands of videos on helpful ways to managing anger, healing emotions, etc.
He’s astoundingly intelligent. Mom does such a good job of reflecting his feelings so that he feels heard and confident in expressing his emotional experience. Inspiring.
She also doesn't jump in and quickly comfort him. She kind of lets him 'stew' in his feelings and describe them. From his consequence, straight to how he felt as he recovered from not getting his way, she sat very quietly and let him sort it out. Outstanding on both parts.
as a counselor and also a human, this makes me incredibly happy to see. what an intelligent little guy and what a great mama 💜
Human, eh? Sounds suspicious🐶😆
Are there counselors that are not human?
@@theequeenlulu🤣 Some more than others maybe.
As a counselor you should know that almost no 4 year old in existence has this level of emotional awareness. You should also be able to see that he looks off camera after every line, obviously taking cues for what to say.
As a speech language pathologist this is truly warms my heart. The connection between Mom and her son absolutely is beautiful. I teach families to communicate with their children daily and this is so rare. She’s a great Mama!!!

This mom has parenting 101 110% down 🥰. Her little one feels listened to so he could express his feelings and reflect on his emotions 😊.
That’s how I talk to my kids. And now if they ever see me looking sad they said “It’s okay mama, sometimes I have big emotions too” then they give me a hug.
❤❤❤
@Its me or whatever I love this so very much. Emotionally intelligent adults have such a positive influence on children 🤍
The self-awareness is so incredible. Great parenting.
Hello?
How are you doing?I hope you are doing great?
This is incredible. Most kids' lives happen at them and not with them. Having parents listen and respond to their children instead of emotionally reacting to their children is so important and beautiful.
There's a longer video of this interaction and it was such a treat to see him process his thoughts and feelings and being able to articulate it.
If he ever decides he's transgender it will be easy to get him on puberty blockers
Link?
@@angelamitchinson8439 RUclips doesn't usually allow comments with links. You can post them but they get removed. Best bet is probably to use the title of this video to search for the longer one
Gobsmacked to hear him speak so intelligently and deeply on a topic that so many adults have yet to address or figure out. Amazing!
And mom is clearly just wonderful.
If only adults talked through the bad times like this young man
Little boy has name for feelings and emotions, because his parents have given him the tools to identify those things in himself. His emotional intelligence is off the charts. Hope that the universe guards his heart & soul.
At 4 he can verbalize very well how he was feeling, understood what made him feel that way, felt comfortable to talk to his momma and she validated him all the way….big lessons from
A tiny person (out of the mouth of babes)
Wow. I'm 41 and I don't know how to express my feelings like this. Makes me feel sad that I learned expressing and having someone interested in my feelings so late in life but makes me also feel inspired that there are young kids out there who are learning this so early and are so supported.
If you're like me, you weren't allowed to be even a "tiny bit upset" with your parents. Anything south of neutral and me and my siblings were called disrespectful and ungrateful. I'm 60 and to this day I have a voice inside that says I don't deserve what I have. My parents are both dead.
What a sweet boy. His Mom is so attentive and kind ❤
" That's emotions mama!" Beautiful insight!! I love this conversation between them and how she's acknowledging his intellect and feelings !
Good parenting right here. She's on his level and speaking to him with respect, and validating his experience. She's also linking it to hers, which celebrates his intelligence and ability to communicate, and invites him to think about it further. Finally, it helps build a strong relationship between them. They're having a genuine exchange about reality. Also, this four year old is more aware of and articulate about his feelings than I am at 36, and that is a direct result of the conditioning I did or didn't get around feelings. I don't completely lay the blame for that at the feet of my parents, but they did play a huge role. There were larger cultural forces at work as there always are influencing their parenting. But it was most definitely toxic when it came to emotions.
I am proud of some in my generation of parents that are learning to value feelings as something we need to be literate about and mobilize in our daily lives and teach our children to pause for so as not to inflict the same kinds of abuse we witnessed and endured as children. If we can manage to hold space for that level of complexity and discomfort, we can hope to move forward. Sharing emotions definitely makes us stronger, not weaker. Clearly, it is the more challenging choice.
😂 wow this is what’s wrong with society. Idiotic parenting….
Speaking to a child with respect and being on their level ….. 😂 children need rules and discipline. Genius thinking , speak to a child as if they are a mini adult. This is how spoiled brats are created ….wait till the child is screaming because the whole world doesn’t listen to him
@@mariafraser3555 Did you even watch the video? The video and the post you responded to, are showing the positives of parents giving their kids tools (language and knowledge) to understand their emotions and a safe space to process them. He wasn't allowed outside as a "consequence," which indicates there are rules and discipline.
Speaking to a child with respect and on their level *does not* equal treating them like a "mini adult." It expresses confidence and trust, which builds the parent-child relationship. Listening to one's child does not "spoil" them, it gives them a safe space to go to when the whole world bares down on them.
@@checksanity 4 year old child … “ whole
world bares down on them “ wow way to project your own insecurities onto a child …… what does a 4 year old know about the “ whole world “ ? Whatever you taught them …. Product of their environment ….. if you make everything a conversation….. great you got a 5 year old debating on why they should do anything ..
@@checksanity builds the parents - child relationship 😂
🤔 by listening to a child …..
How idiotic …. Put it this way …. You wouldn’t listen to what any other kid says and take it as truth or fact ….. just your own kid .
I bet you have seem 0 studies ofLen how gullible parents are
@@mariafraser3555 are you okay? 😂 You sound insane and like you need meds asap
I want parenting classes from that mama. I'm a big believer in teaching children how to manage their emotions, but I've never seen it grasped so articulately in a 4 year old! Gives me hope that it won't be a years-long battle until one day when all the pieces fit.
My kid was like that too. My best advice is work on yourself first. Only once you understand yourself and learn to deal with your own emotions, you will be able to help them understand and deal with theirs.
Then, give grace and respect while holding boundaries. Identify and explain their feelings when something is happening and be there with them through it.
People fail at being good parents when they don't understand that the role is that of a mentor and boundary enforcer. Many parents believe they are supposed to be in control of their children when they really need to be in control of themselves.
When you love someone you will want to follow them. That's the way you really influence your kid in life - through love.
All the best to you.
His parents have done a wonderful job of teaching him about his feelings!
The parents are giving that kid the space to explore and express his emotions, on top of modeling how to deal with emotions as well. That's why we see such an expressive, deep-thinking kid. Being a parent is tough and they're doing a great job. Your kid will do wonders in this world
I love how this little boy is secure enough to express his emotions. And his mom sat and talked and listened. So wonderful. She’s an awesome mom and her son is awesome and will grow up into a wonderful man
What a beautiful child. He has a mother that listens. She has encouraged him in his speech and how to express himself. This is one beautiful family.
What a beautiful conversation. Mama and her precious son are going to have a wonderful life. Communication in an encouraging manner is the proper way to teach and encourage self-confidence.
This little boy is incredibly eloquent for his age. I hope for him he will never become shy to express his feelings with his parents and friends when he grow up. He is precious and smart.
This little boy expressed himself better than most 10x his age. I'm impressed by his level of respect and her level of patience. We can all learn a lot from their example. ❤
This little boys emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and empathy toward mama and papa’s feelings out reach many adults I know. ❤ Good parenting rewards
It's the emotional intelligence for me 😍
He's more emotionally mature than 99% of adult males.
Wow way to ruin a moment
Anyone with a Trump profile pic has already ruined the moment
@@francis_n 😂😂exactly
The most adorable moment! I’m glad she talks to him about his feelings. You can tell he’s retaining what she’s saying. I’m not trying to be deep when I say this but knowing how to explain feelings this early can be so helpful as life throws you all the curveballs after you’re like 10 years old! Puberty is a mutha! 😭 It’s good to process it now so that it becomes a resource in the future and not a hinderance.
He's so sweet and really smart.
He noticed on his own that he felt better after being upset. Such an insightful little guy 🧸
This is gentle parenting. Learning how to regulate our emotions so we can regulate our children's and end generational trauma. Good job mama you are amazing!
The best parents right here. This type of emotional intelligence would solve 90% of the worlds biggest issues. We need more parents like these.
my mom never communicated with me when I was a kid up until adulthood. now that I'm an adult, I understand the importance of patience and communication to children. knowing how my nephew is like this cute boy, I'm happy he's on the right path
Sorry no matter what,I don’t ever like to say anything negative about Mom.most Moms do everything they can or they know for their kids(except substance abuse or mental illness people)
@@ajayn7544 I'm glad that works for you.
THIS CHILD IS soooo adorable, i have no words....what a bright, sensitive , loveable child...clearly good parenting...love and understanding...bravo...
So precious to see a little child who was clearly shown how to talk about his emotions and starting to know how to label them properly, and how his momma listens to him and helps him understand. 💕
Imagine if every parent spoke to their children like this...what a different world it would be.
Omg my heart melts. What a beautiful one on one talk with mama and her son. I can feel the sincerity, genuine and honesty of the young child and mother. Beautiful souls indeed. ❤
What a sweet and respectful exchange between mother and child; he is so bright, and you are a kind mother. Good job mom~
What a WONDERFUL mother she is! She has taught him so well at such a young age. Well done momma! Well done!
Communication and listening too your child respectfully, is how an adult becomes; a happy and socially aware person
Made my heart melt!!! So smart!!!!!!!!!!!
That is a beautiful mother-son relationship. She's doing everything right!
Oh my goodness... I literally started to cry while I was processing my own feelings while watching this! 😭
WORD! 😢❤
Now THAT is OUTSTANDING PARENTING!!!! What an amazing conversation for a 4yo !!
Well this is just precious! this little guy is feeling the full range of emotions, articulating them perfectly and I have a feeling he will be demonstrative in the future! The fact that he feels so free to be perfectly expressive about his range of emotions is really great! You're doing such a good job, Mommy!
This could be a great teaching video for college psychology majors or psychiatry residents
why does this bring floods of tears ?
what a beautiful child
and beautiful mother.
So brilliant! Most adults could learn a lot from that young man.
What an amazing young man! Super high IQ... and sensitive too. He is a great reflection of his parents.
Woooooow. That’s the result of good parenting right there.
this is crazy! this 4 yr old is more thoughtful and articulate than most adults.
Oh my goodness, this tiny boy is precious. Understanding that he has emotions and also understanding that each was different is pretty deep for a 4 year old. He also said he Chose to get a little bit angry. He Chose to be angry. And then upset but it's alright.
I love that Mum is having this talk with her son and allowing him to process this. Great parenting from his Mum and Dad.
❤
So intelligent and young,already processing his feelings. Will take him so far.
Emotional Awareness changes everything. As someone who was raised without any emotional regulation, this is so wonderful and heartwarming to see. 😊❤
Oh my goodness…
The emotional intelligence is just unbelievable. His mom and dad are doing an amazing job teaching him self expression and coping skills. This is just beautiful all around.
Aww how cute and mature of him and his mama🥺🥰
Aw, what a calm and caring mom. And what a smart kid. They are precious together.
precious people. i give the biggest thanks for parenting like this- you are setting your children up to navigate the world so much better than previous generations.
Omg my heart😢This child is absolutely EVERYTHING!He will definitely be alright,great job mom!!❤
I am so impressed. What a wonderful job his parents are doing! There are adults who cannot deal with their emotions as well as this young man.
What an amazing Mother !!!
Me and my little one! I love this 😌 every child deserves this 🫶🏽
The cuteness of the little soul talking..... what a patient a loving Mama he has too.... beautiful
That's the best thing I've seen in a long time!
1 million points to those parents for raising such a self aware child 👏🏼
That is one of the cutest conversations I've ever heard that little boy is a genius ⭐
This old soul gives me hope :)
So precious!! This little guy has more emotional intelligence than most adults
That's a beautiful conversation! Teaching emotional intelligence and to not repress emotions or be scared of them or punished for them. Normalizing that emotions pass through and fluctuate and can feel better from expressing crying. That's healthy! Good job, mama. "That's emotions." "Life is like that." Glad this moment was caught on video and shared.❤ I hope there are many children's books teaching healthy attitude towards emotions.
Congratulations for the parents raising an emotionally intelligent person. Please talk with your children. I love this baby.
Bless this family. They can teach us all a lot!
That shows what it is like growing up in a kind, loving, intelligent environment. His mother gave him the space and time to talk and took him seriously.
Oh my gosh!!!! This was soooo beautiful!!!! What a wonderful mom in how she handled this much that I saw.
His parents have taught him to process and express his feelings in a mature positive manner. These parents get an A+ in teaching their son excellent communication skills.😊😊
Big up to his parents!!! This kid has more emotional intelligence than some (if not all) of our leaders. This is heartwarming.
Good job, mom and dad. He is adorable and one day he will also make a great dad and human being.
Bless his wise soul!!! He’s a lucky boy to have such a good mama, giving him space to feel ALL the feels
I’m sure he learned to be so thoughtful from his parents.
This child's intelligence is way beyond his years, great job parents!
Oh my goodness, how precious and so darn cute. Beautiful little man and so extremely intelligent!!
That’s one well adjusted four year old! 😳 Emotional IQ off the chart! ❤
The kid is going to grow up to a very complete and happy human!
I love that the Mom sat quietly and let him explain what he was feeling. Great job Mama!!
Ahhhh... how precious is that little guy. He's got the world of emotions already figured out. I hope she gave him a huge hug after that.
Oh my.Brought tears to my heart.He is already able to decpher what is emotions and understand at such a young age.Keep up the amazing job mom.A little phychiatrist in the making.
Out the mouth of babes . Well done mama you raising a well round ,articulate , emotional aware son , what a blessing his company & conversations will bring you in your golden years .

That little angel is wise beyond his yrs. Morals, values and respect start in the home and will carry you thru your entire life. Kudos to this child's parents. 🥰
What a adorable little boy
Amazing in how he is expressing his emotions and his caring mum explaining to him
Oh my gosh - this little boy is going to grow up with so much emotional intelligence! What a shining light for the world.
That was too precious he’s smart and adorable
Many adults could learn a very important lesson by watching this video. I'll admit to struggling for decades with my inability to express my
This is unbelievable! Such a small boy with so much perspective, such wisdom! This is beautiful...
This was a beautiful thing to watch. Such a loving and heartfelt interaction.
That’s a great mama ❤️
He gonna make a real good therapist someday. He knows and understands the word “Emotions”. God bless his heart.
