One of the greatest blessings you can experience as a parent is to watch your child’s personality evolve and mature over the years.

However, in some cases, children skip acting like a youngster altogether and display traits that aren’t typical of kids their age. Some children are born wise beyond their years.

This 6-year-old’s very specific morning routine has TikTok users chuckling about what an old soul he is.

TikToker @alissa_360style is a mother of two kids, one of them being 6-year-old Ayaan. She shared a short video of her son getting ready for school.

“If you ever wondered how our 6-year-old @ayaandiop starts his day. It’s with drinking tea and reading a chapter book after he finishes his cereal at 6:30 AM!!” she wrote in the text overlay of the video.

In the clip, Ayaan is sitting in a chair, casually sipping from a mug of honey and lemon tea while reading a chapter book.

Apparently, he was taking the time to unwind a little after finishing the bowl of cereal he had for breakfast.

And another detail that makes this scene so funny is the fact that Ayaan was sporting an upturned collar on his polo shirt.

Wearing a popped collar was a fashion trend that went mainstream back in the eighties.

Many TikTok users had a field day in the comments section, joking about how Ayaan was more like a dad or uncle than a child in grade school. And some were impressed by the amount of focus he showed for someone so young.

“Does he also get mad when you touch the thermostat?” asked one user.

“I feel like he also reads the New York Times and has a Roth IRA account,” another pointed out.

“As a child therapist, I’m so happy he already has emotional regulation and coping mechanisms in place this young,” mentioned a third.

“This man is 45, and you can’t tell me anything else,” chimed in a fourth.

I was packing lunches for Ayaan & Alaïa and I look over at Ayaan just casually drinking his lemon & honey tea, and reading a new book. At first I laughed. Because…who does he think he is????. But then I realized that I’m glad he had this moment of calm and focus for himself before he starts his day at school. I Hope your day is off to a great start. Happy Monday TikTok Fam! ?? #morningtea #firstgrade #mondaymood #momsoftiktok #foryou #fyp #reading
