A stepfather’s excitement and care on his stepdaughter’s first day of school wins praise and touches netizens
BEING raised in a loving and caring household is essential for every child.
While many parents share sweet moments of their children’s first steps into formal education, one mother’s post stood out for its warmth and sincerity.
A mother known as @nuryasya on TikTok shared a series of heartwarming clips showing her husband — who is her daughter’s stepfather — being even more excited than anyone else about the young girl’s first day of school.
The videos highlighted the man’s affection and dedication, showing him caring for the children as if they were his own.
In one clip, he took them on a back-to-school shopping trip to buy their school uniforms.
In another video, he was seen filling in his younger stepdaughter’s name on an entry test paper after registration.
“Asked her dad to just write her name, but once far from the classroom, he went looking for a place to write it,” the mother wrote, as the clip showed him smiling happily while doing so.
He later accompanied the girl to her classroom for the entry exam, briefly guiding her on how to answer the questions.
On her first official day of school, he walked her to class while holding her hand, making sure she was settled comfortably.
Before leaving, he gave her a high-five and received a respectful “salam” from her. He then planted gentle kisses on her cheeks and forehead — a moment that deeply touched netizens.
Many praised the stepfather for loving and caring for the children as his own, something they described as rare.
“A father isn’t defined only by blood ties, but more importantly by love and responsibility. Well done, brother,” one user commented.
Another user shared how the video reminded her of her own stepfather and brought back childhood memories.
“Like my stepfather when I was in Year 1. He was so excited about me starting school. He held my hand and took me to the classroom until the teacher arrived. He was really that excited. Now I’m 23, and Alhamdulillah, he has taken care of me so lovingly, even though I’m his stepchild.”
