A Compassionate Professor Holds a Single Mom’s Toddler During Class

Hey there! So, picture this: juggling college classes while raising kids can be super tough. Now, imagine you have to bring your toddler along because you can’t find anyone to watch them. That’s exactly what happened to Jessica Greene at DeVry University in Nashville, Tennessee. With no childcare options, she decided to take her little one to class rather than miss it.

During the lecture, her son, a curious two-year-old named Leo, turned to Professor Mark Thompson and asked to be picked up. And guess what? The professor didn’t even hesitate. He scooped Leo up, all while continuing with the lesson. “A lot of us in class are parents ourselves, so we totally understood,” Jessica shared with News 2 Nashville. She described Professor Thompson as “super patient and understanding” for going along with Leo’s request. It was a heartwarming moment, and little Leo got to enjoy a front-row seat to the learning experience.

It’s no secret that life can be challenging for single parents. Childcare costs can be astronomical, and balancing work, kids, and school is no easy feat. But instead of viewing Leo as a distraction, Professor Thompson made Jessica feel supported, allowing her to stay engaged in class and not fall behind. His focus on her learning rather than worrying about a little interruption is what truly makes a great teacher.

Of course, ideally, Jessica would have had childcare lined up, but that’s not always the case. Life throws us curveballs, and it’s all about how we handle them. While some might find a toddler in class distracting, a bit of compassion can go a long way. Moms like Jessica often study with kids around, which can be quite a juggling act. A little understanding can lighten the load for someone else, even if just for a moment.

This lovely story went viral, and hopefully, it encourages more people to be patient and kind. If the professor can roll with the punches, why shouldn’t the students? It sets such a great example for everyone that we all have our struggles. Just a reminder that we should keep that in mind as we navigate through life.
