i was watching my cousin , who is only 13-years-old , being a pretty good motherly figure towards my 7-year-old nephew while were hanging out today . it 's interesting to see how well she performs at a young age when dealing with kids , and how patient she stays when most adults would n't be able to that is so sweet ! it really is . i was caught off guard by the compassion and ability to take all the frenetic activity going on around her in stride and stay calm and talk to the children respectfully , trying to teach them instead of just yelling at them . i do n't know if i 'll be that good when i 'm a parent . it is a good sign that she shows that kind of care to them
The 13-year-old cousin's remarkable parenting skills and patience while caring for the 7-year-old nephew triggered the feeling of being impressed.
