What would you do if you heard someone call their son a 'Loser'?

What would you do if you heard someone call their son a 'Loser'?

This touching social experiment shows how the kindness of one stranger can entirely change one dad's parenting perspective

A man enters an ice cream store where he hears one father criticizing his son for being the reason why their team lost a baseball game.

He couldn’t take hearing the young boy being called a ‘loser’ by someone he loves and admires so he decided to step in.

But instead of being confrontational, he calmly approaches, resting a hand on the man’s shoulder as he says…

“I’m not trying to tell you how to raise your son. But I’m just talking to you as one man to another.”

“Life is hard enough. He’s going to learn that lesson eventually,” he adds.

He also goes on to say that the boy is going to need his dad to be his anchor as he grows up. socialexperiment5

He calmly asks the other man to simply buy the kid an ice cream. socialexperiment8

And he even offers to pay for it.socialexperiment9

He promises that this simple gesture will make the kid feel like he has ‘the greatest dad in the world’.

The TV crew who’ve been watching the whole scene unfold through hidden cameras then reveal themselves.

They congratulate the man’s kindness, and for stepping in when most people would just pretend to ignore the situation
