Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

There are some children who definitely should be referred to as old souls and this child is one of them.

Once you hear more about their morning routine, you are going to find yourself wondering which old man got trapped in this child’s body. Alissa Holder shared a hilarious video and the rest of the internet currently finds themselves asking the same question.

The young man is incredibly mature, as he starts his day with a good book and a cup of hot tea. He is up at 6:30 AM and is more than happy to seize the day. Most parents have to watching this child in awe. There are a lot of kids who simply do not want to get out of bed and we cannot say that we blame them in that regard. It’s hard to shake off those early morning cobwebs.

“I was packing lunches for Ayaan & Alaïa and I look over to see Ayaan just casually drinking his lemon & honey tea, and reading a new book. At first I laughed. Because…who does he think he is? But then I realized that I’m glad he had this moment of calm and focus for himself before he starts his day at school. I Hope your day is off to a great start,” Alyssa shared.

We could all stand to learn a lesson from this young man. Instead of clinging to his bed for as long as possible and being forced to rush around in the morning, he gives himself a much more peaceful start to the day.

You never expect to be given a life lesson by a 6 year old but Ayaan has a wisdom that seems to extend far beyond his years.

After all, school is filled with all sorts of challenges that we don’t ever stop to consider. We all have days at work where we don’t want to be around a ton of people or hear a lot of noise. It is easy to see why a child might like a moment of peace and quiet before they have to head outside to face the day.

Kudos to Ayaan for taking the time to embrace the concept of self care from such a young age.

This is something that we should all be thinking about, if we are being honest.
