Thai 5th grader juggles school and babysitting duties in class (video)
A heartwarming video of a Thai 5th grader bottle-feeding her younger sister has captured the hearts of millions in Thailand.
The 20-second clip, now viral, features a young student nicknamed Green diligently writing in her exercise book with her right hand while cradling her one year old sister in her left arm. The adorable toddler appears content and engaged, sipping from her milk bottle and gazing up at her big sister with admiration.
The touching scene unfolds at Ban Klong Kaem Cham School in Prachin Buri, where a compassionate teacher with the TikTok handle @Yingggzz, provided some context in the video’s description.
“She is the eldest sister in her family. Her mum is busy running errands. This is better than having to miss school to look after your sister, right?
“I’m not sure how other teachers would feel, but I always tell my students not to miss class… and she is really doing it. Good thing her sister is not naughty.”
Support and praise have flooded in from netizens, with many applauding Green’s resilience and multitasking skills, reported Thai PBS World.
“She is very tough, writing with one hand and holding her sister in the other.”
Others praised the teacher for her empathy, commending her decision to allow Green’s little sister to join the classroom.
