The first day of school can be an overwhelming experience for both children and their parents, particularly for Standard 1 students.
In response to this challenge, a pair of parents decided to dress up in school uniforms like their son in order to make him less afraid of going to school.
Wore school uniforms
The parents, Mohd Fadzil Abu Naim and his wife Nurul Aini Mohd Olwi, were filmed accompanying their son to his orientation day last Saturday (Mar 18).
However, what caught the eyes of onlookers was that they both wore school uniforms instead of their regular clothes.
The boy’s father was also seen adjusting his backpack straps before seeing him off to class.
It is believed that both parents decided to don school uniforms to help their son be less anxious about school and make his first day more memorable.
‘Parents of the Year’ goes to…
Online reactions to the parents’ efforts were overwhelmingly positive, with many netizens commending their support and even dubbing them as “Parents of the Year.”
One even claimed this has inspired him to do the same for his child starting next year!
