Little girl confronted dad for shouting at mom after returning from work - her wise words gave him much-needed reality check
A child might show an all-new perspective to an adult about a situation and change their mindset completely. It might be even surprising to hear wise words from a child, but it isn't unusual for children to surprise people. A little girl took the internet by storm after she wisely confronted her angry dad about yelling at her mom with patience and flawless communication skills. She politely gave the man something to think about at the dinner table, as per a clip shared by the South China Morning Post.
"What makes you think you can yell at mom when you are in a bad mood?" the little girl asked her dad as the family sat down to have dinner. The man had shouted at his wife after coming from work in front of his kids. The little girl, Yuanyuan, carefully chose her words and gave a strong message to her dad about her emotions. She pointed out, "You are upset. Mom asked you why." The girl added how the man simply told his wife to shut up and didn't share anything. "If you don't want to share your feelings then don't bring your anger at home," Yuanyuan expressed as her dad listened to what she had to say at that time.
"We have to look at your face. We remain silent. We are just kids, this scares us," the daughter continued. "We know you work very hard. Who doesn't? Doesn't mom work hard too?" She even encouraged her dad to talk about things as they were a family and should be sharing things with each other. "We are not enemies. We can talk properly, right?" she went on. At that moment, the girl's sister chimed in and emphasized what her sister had just said. The 5-year-old girl's careful speech and understanding won a lot of praise online. Many people took to the comments section of the video to applaud her words.

And the way that she is so kind and clear. This little girl is so intelligent beyond her time. She is a gift to humankind." @unknown_8588 commented, "I am shook. Every single word that came out of this baby’s mouth was more mature and emotionally intelligent than anything I’ve ever heard from any adult regarding these kinda matters. And the way she’s clearly wary and upset about her dad’s actions but still voices everything to him unwaveringly and politely."
Another user remarked, "I'm glad the father actually listened. When I was around her age, my (jobless) father would berate and yell at my mom for not making enough money, despite being the breadwinner in a highly stressful job. I opened my mouth to say the same things this child said, except the outcome was that my dad interrupted me mid-sentence with a punch to my face. His justification: 'I can't hit your mom, but I can certainly hit you.'" @elissagross7062 shared, "This was my entire childhood. It took my whole life, but I finally wore my father down a bit and educated him on how to express emotions. I went on to become a therapist because this is all I've known to do my entire life."
