Noah is a rambunctious toddler, and she loves helping her Dada, Teddy. She is appropriately named, as the Hebrew origin of the name “Noah” for a female means “motion.” Her father tracks her activity on TikTok when he can keep up. When he asked for help one day, Noah quickly ran to the rescue. She tried to be a careful toddler while carrying a full cup of water. However, things didn’t quite go as planned.
Noah’s mission was to carry a full cup of water to her Dada. As she lifted the cup, it spilled. Unable to understand what had happened, she bent slightly to look at the puddle. More spillage occurred. She finally got the cup upright again, looking at her dad. He offered gentle reassurance and urged her to continue bringing him the cup.
As the careful toddler walked toward her dad, she left a splattering of water along the entire path but finally reached her goal. Her dad provided encouragement along the way, urging her to continue being careful and keep moving. She finally made it with an almost empty cup. After handing off the prize to her dad, she turned around to survey the damage.
eaching A Toddler To Be Careful Isn’t Always Easy
Teddy assured his daughter it was okay, in a show of true parenting. Whenever Noah hesitated over a spill, he encouraged her to continue “helping” and bring him the cup. It is important to allow children to “help,” even if it means more work for a parent. That is how children learn new things.
The next step is the cleanup effort. Hopefully, Teddy also allowed Noah to help with that. Teaching children is a full-time job for parents; almost every moment can be a teaching moment. Watching other videos, we’re pretty sure that happened. Teddy shares many daily events in their lives, and Noah is active, but you can see how she is growing into a wonderful little lady.
Please share if you enjoyed watching Noah and her dad, Teddy, with this life lesson.
