Give them a chance

This little boy about 3 years old sat next to me on the train. His father gave him a banana. Through the reflection of the window I realized the little boy was having a hard time peeling the banana. I looked at his dad, he obviously noticed but didn’t offer his help, so neither did I. The kid kept struggling and struggling but eventually found a way to peel the banana without ripping off the tip. Then he ate it.

Because I get excited over the smallest things I had a BIG smile on my face when he finally got it.

I’m glad his dad didn’t help him. Sometimes you need to give your kids a chance to prove themselves instead of assuming they need help.

Good job DAD!
