6-Year-Old Girl Makes An Unexpected Decision And Changes A Boy’s Life
All of us were kids once and we know that priorities of a young mind are vastly different from ones of an adult. What matters most to a child are delicious snacks, enough playtime with their friends and, of course, a fancy new toy for their birthday. At times we think that children are simply too predictable in their simple wishes, but one kindergarten teacher was pleasantly surprised.
On May 4th, Twitter user Katt shared a note her sister’s teacher left. In it, Mrs. Petree detailed a 6-year-old Peyton’s unexpected act of kindness that had her sister crying. “Peyton is only 6 but believe me when I say she is going to change the world one day,” Katt said about her sister’s actions. People quickly responded to the original tweet, praising the little girl. Peyton showed that a simple act of kindness can change a person’s life, so read the entire story.

Children’s actions are often seen as predictable, however, this 6-year-old surprised her teacher
Last week, the little girl’s sister, Katt, shared the kindergarten teacher’s note on Twitter
Mrs. Petree reported that Peyton did “the most heartwarming act of kindness”
The teacher rewarded the girl for improving by letting her choose who to sit with at lunch
However, instead of going for who the person the teacher expected, Peyton chose a boy who never gets picked
Afterwards, other kids started picking the boy as well and it changed him completely
Mrs. Petree said that it has reminded her why she loves teaching
And her sister Katt, couldn’t be more proud
“Peyton is only 6 but believe me when I say she is going to change the world one day,” she said
People on Twitter quickly responded to the story, praising the little girl

Alright, which wise guy brought onions to work and why must you cut them here? *sniff,sniff* I love this, and stories like these. Lifts this depressed guy’s heart😊
You know this little child had already observed the hurt the outcast little boy was feeling. Then she chose the moment she knew she could make a difference. Pretty amazing for a six year old. Do you think the parents would agree to give parenting talks to others who have bullies?
I wish i'd had this girl for a friend when I was little. I didn't have a very great Elementary or Middle School life (up until 8th grade, when I moved) and it's insane how much its affected me. For awhile I didn't really know that the way they were treating me was terrible, and I didn't realize how mean they were to me until I made friends who treated me like I was of value to them. This may have changed this boy's life forever, and I'm so happy for him, and the girl.
Y'all just be kind, 'specially when it is hard! I have a treasured memory of K*, a girl voted "most popular" befriending me when I was a shy, greasy-haired mess; kids hated on me: gave me a beat down, sent my pants on fire in class... but she would call me out in the hallway in a sweet way, talk to me before class about how I was doing- when her friends I could tell were shocked and would whisper, she took it as a queue to ask me?! to help her with her math. I could go on about it, but suffice it to say that K's kindness gave me so much confidence during those critical early teen years to work on myself, try out for sports and pursue other interests in school and church and to chase and catch my childhood dream girl, M*. Now 40 years and 10 kids later it's hard to measure what an impact K* has had by just being kind to someone like me whose life could have gone so differently without her K*indness.
And then later, the kids at school get wind of this (or some other similar post) online and then things will turn for the worse for the boy again......This seems better shared through word-of-mouth than plastering it permanently on the internet.
That's a sweet little girl. Her mom is just as great for raising her to be kind. <3
She changed this young man’s life permanently. Too often kids are victimized by other kids for no real reason. By accepting him and making him a friend, she made sure that his classmates will accept him all the way through school.
Not always, not necessarily. Despite being a cynic, i try to be as positive as I can be, especially in the face of rampant hate and indifference, these days. I feel that her awesome personality will continue to brighten people’s days.
