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 wouldn'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 don'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
