Parenthood is one of the biggest challenges that life has to offer, but it’s also one of the most rewarding ones as well. Without romanticizing it, developing an extremely close-knit relationship with another human being is something magical, to say the least. But on to the topic at hand.
A mother recently shared a heartwarming moment she had while talking to her son, who was upset, calming him down, and letting him know just how much he is loved, which in turn melted the internet’s heart.

Destiny Bennett, a mother of 3 from Las Vegas, NV, has as of this article three days ago shared a video of her absolutely heartwarming talk with her upset 5-year-old son named Cash, who, as she explained, struggles with controlling his emotions and expressing feelings.
The little boy was experiencing a lot of anger that morning, so Bennett decided to confront it with a little heart-to-heart. Much to her surprise, the moment was caught on Bennett’s door cam—we tend to forget we have those until something out of the ordinary happens literally right at our doorstep.

“I love you very much. Do you know how much I love you? You don’t know how much? I love you more than this much. [extends arms],” said Bennett in her now viral video. “I can see how angry you are. And I want you to feel better. I want you to love you enough to see how angry you are and want to feel better. Okay?”
“Sometimes feeling better is getting the things that we want, but sometimes we can’t get the things we want. And it’s okay to be angry. But then we have to be able to let it go and understand that we’re not going to get it and we have to find another way to make our body feel better. I need you to love you. Okay? I love you. [They hug]. Let’s have a good day today, okay?”
The whole thing was caught on Bennett’s door cam and later posted on TikTok

The mom reassured her son that he is loved, and explained that it is OK to feel angry—it’s OK to feel that way when we don’t get something, and we need to let it go, find other ways to understand and move on.
Apparently, the son was upset because of a little argument he had with his siblings over sharing toys and just wouldn’t let it go. But Bennett was immediately on the ball and managed it like a champ.
It instantly went viral, getting 4.4M views with another million hearts
