6-Year-Old Girl Makes An Unexpected Decision And Changes A Boy’s Life

ADVERTISEMENT

All of us were kids once and we know that priorities of a young mind are vastly different from ones of an adult. What matters most to a child are delicious snacks, enough playtime with their friends and, of course, a fancy new toy for their birthday. At times we think that children are simply too predictable in their simple wishes, but one kindergarten teacher was pleasantly surprised.

On May 4th, Twitter user Katt shared a note her sister’s teacher left. In it, Mrs. Petree detailed a 6-year-old Peyton’s unexpected act of kindness that had her sister crying. “Peyton is only 6 but believe me when I say she is going to change the world one day,” Katt said about her sister’s actions. People quickly responded to the original tweet, praising the little girl. Peyton showed that a simple act of kindness can change a person’s life, so read the entire story.

    Afterwards, other kids started picking the boy as well and it changed him completely

    That girl changed (and probably even saved) a life that day.

    You know this little child had already observed the hurt the outcast little boy was feeling. Then she chose the moment she knew she could make a difference. Pretty amazing for a six year old. Do you think the parents would agree to give parenting talks to others who have bullies?
