For starters, she did not simply let this situation pass with a warning. Instead, she calmly let him know that his actions were not okay. Then, she had him put together a simple yet thoughtful gift to give the girl, complete with an apology letter. See how this process went in the viral video below.

As many others have pointed out, it seems that Michayla’s parenting skills are making a difference. This shines through in the way her son doesn’t push back against the natural consequences he faces from bullying someone.
“The fact that he knows you’re serious and is taking it seriously himself too, originally going to the big stuff, taking his time looking, etc. You’re amazing, thank you,” someone points out, with another person adding, “YES! None of that ‘boys will be boys’ nonsense. You’re raising him right mama.”
