It is no secret that young kids learn by watching the world around them. They observe how their parents behave, react in different situations, and model their behavior in the same way. This “beautiful moment” captured by an Instagram user not only highlights family bonding at its best but puts significance on how our actions impact children.

Sharimi Shaharudin, from Malaysia, shared a video of a loving couple who were eating with their children at a restaurant in Selangor. Just then, something heartwarming caught his attention.

Shaharudin noticed a husband feeding his wife, whose both hands were occupied, holding an infant. Of course, the woman could have fed herself, but the husband went that extra mile to feed his wife, thus spreading the message of love and care.

The eldest son, who was sitting on a baby chair next to his father, quietly observed him before also offering to feed his mom. Noticing that his little tender hands couldn’t reach her, the mother, touched by this gesture, willingly stood up and accepted his offer. So sweet!

Shaharudin admits honestly his attention was drawn when he saw this heartfelt moment unfold in front of his eyes. While his unselfish act certainly draws appreciation, the most soul-stirring moment was when the eldest son copied his actions and fed the mother as well. The family did not seem to care about their surroundings and only focused on enjoying the moment together.

Both the mom and dad play different but important roles, and therefore nurturing a child is not just a mother’s responsibility—it is to be carried out as a family together. The video has clearly managed to impress a lot of netizens, who remarked that this is how parents should treat each other so that their kids can watch and follow suit.
