Instilling good habits and excellent character in children starts right at home.

Understanding this, a husband and wife have taught their toddler to treat garbage collectors with kindness and respect.

The act was seen in a video posted on Tik Tok by @denik923.

In the video, the user and his wife were seen encouraging their toddler to walk up to a sanitation worker who was making the rounds in an Alam Flora garbage truck and pass him some drink packets.

“Give it to the uncle,” the boy’s father was heard saying in the video while the mother prompted him to walk towards the worker.

After the boy gave the drink to the smiling worker, the boy’s father told the boy to say thank you and wave goodbye to the sanitation employee.

“So good that you’re teaching your child to appreciate people who work tirelessly. Without them our surroundings won’t be clean,” said one user.

“Good job raising your child to be charitable,” said another.

Good job indeed!
