Do you sometimes feel like you have too much emotions to contain?
You’ve been holding it all together, your stress, responsibilities, disappointments, and even your sadness, and you don’t know how you can keep it up.
We’ve all been there, somehow.
This is the reason why today, mental and emotional health is being prioritized. We all need to know how to handle our emotions, and we could learn a lesson or two from Aldie.
Four-year-old Aldie, from Prince George, BC Canada, is being applauded by millions of people all over the world.
People are loving this little boy, not just because he’s really adorable, but because of how well he handles his emotions.
The TikTok clip that lasted over two minutes had garnered over 23.8M views as of this writing.
We see Aldie at the start of the video, wearing his pajamas and getting ready to sleep.
At this moment, he confronts his mother and tells her that she didn’t make a smart choice that day.
Little Aldie said that his mother had hurt his feelings for not going outside that day.
He said he was upset, and that was the reason he didn’t want to make a smart choice that day.
Then, Aldie’s mom sat with him in his little bed, and they talked.
Aldie continued sharing with his mother what he felt. He told her that after he felt sad; he felt a little bit upset.
He then corrected himself and said it was more than a little.
“Yeah. We all get upset sometimes. We don’t get what we want all the time,” said Aldie’s mom.
Aldie agreed with her and said that even Mama and Papa don’t always get what they want.
However, he also pointed out that for babies, this reality is hard to process.
Then, he pointed out an example of how his younger sister dropped the plate and that their father got angry.
He reminded his father to stop, breathe, and make a smart choice.
Aldie went on to explain to his mama that he had been feeling a bit mad earlier, but then he was alright again.
“Life is like that. We get upset, we get mad, we cry,” said Aldie’s mom.
Then we hear Aldie say, “that’s emotions Mama!”
Aldie then realized something, and he told his mother that today, he wasn’t very good at handling his emotions.
The video then shifts to Aldie being hugged by his mama.
We hear the little boy ask if his mama still loves him even though he didn’t make a smart choice that day.
To which his mother replied, “Of course! Always.”
Aldie said “I love you, too” to his mother and we see them hug a little more.
The people who watched the video commended Aldie’s mother for being there for him.
Many said that it looked like they have this bedtime routine where they talk with each other.
They also said that Aldie knows how to handle his emotions really well, better than most adults.
The way he expresses his feelings, the way he describes what he felt, and how his mother listens to him, are all good examples of how you can raise a child who is not only smart but also emotionally wise.
This clip is not just adorable, it’s beautiful.
