I Saw a Father Breaking Generational Curse

I was waiting in a queue today and there was a father there with his son, who most likely had ADHD and Autism. What stood out to me wasn't the child it was the father. He was incredibly gentle and patient. The kid was hyperactive, running around, interrupting, in short WILDING but not once did the father raise his voice or use a harsh tone.

Some people might think this is common among parents of neurodivergent kids but after interning at 4 different hospitals and working with many children and families, I can tell you it's unfortunately not. I actually went up to him and told him that he is a great father, may Allah bless him. The smile on his face was immediate.

If you ever see someone doing a genuinely good job, especially as a parent, PLEASE GO AND TELL THEM. We criticize people all the time but a little appreciation can go a long way.
