Big Sister Comforts Crying Baby In The Sweetest Way

One young child is such a blessing to her mother due to the sweet and moving way she cares for and comforts her upset baby sister.

Parenting is not an easy task. It will be the most difficult, but, at the same time, the most rewarding job. Unlike one’s job and professional career, parenting is a 24-hour, 365-day-a-year assignment. There are no sick or vacation days, but the benefits of being a parent are better than any 401K imaginable. 

However, as rewarding as being a parent is, mom and dad can use a little help now and then. One woman received some help with her little one from an unexpected source: 6-year-old Deklyn, according to ParentingIsEasy.

A video posted on YouTube shows Erin Barsness’ oldest daughter, Deklyn, attending to the needs of her youngest, an upset Emmy. The clip shows Deklyn sitting on the couch with the crying child on her lap. 

She sweetly attends to the child’s needs while she rocks her back and forth. However, as she does this, the all-important pacifier falls out of the baby’s mouth. Deklyn notices this also and promptly places the item into the child’s mouth. The crying immediately ceases. 

Deklyn then begins swiping away the tears that have fallen down her little sister’s face. 

Erin, Emmy and Deklyn’s mother, recounts the sweet moment when her eldest daughter recalled over and provided tender, loving care to her youngest.

“When Emmy was crying, Deklyn ran over to her and started comforting her and consoling her,” Erin said. “I went to get up to go help her, and kind of relieve her since she was the first one over there. And she turned to me, and she said, ‘No, mom, I got this.’”

What a precious moment of love and kindness between two sisters!

“She’s really good at parenting, and I know it’s hard work for Mom,” Deklyn said. “So, then I just help them when they need help, like, with baby sisters.”

Psalm 127:3 “Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward.”
