Meet the 6-year-old whose morning routine is going viral 

He sits calmly, you can tell he’s not an iPad kid. He’s reading CHAPTER BOOKS at six! He’s so well articulate for such a small age even saying thank you unprompted! Such a beautiful child, the siblings too. Go mom and dad! You are doing it right!

Just goes to prove how amazing a child can be when they’re in a supportive, loving home.

From the way he sat with the mug and reading the book, he immediately gave CEO energy. Good job parents.

Did anyone else catch how his face lit up even more when his daddy started praising him??! Yes his momma did that as well but he seemed to light up a little more when his daddy spoke. The voice of a father MATTERS greatly especially in the life of our young boys. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

He is every teacher’s dream student!!! God bless this sweet child!!!!

This kid is more disciplined than most adults.

It all starts in the home. As a reading specialist I applaud this child. He is surely a special child. God Bless!

A kid who likes to have some quiet time? That is indeed a rare find these days. Full respect to this kid and the parents. 🙌👑

Kudos to his mother for encouraging him to succeed. We need more parents like this.

Our world would be SO different if all parents do what these parents do. They are all amazing!

Those parents are phenomenal! Speaking such positive words over their son constantly, look what he has already accomplished in his short life. God continue to bless them 🙌👏

My teacher heart just melted. He is precious. We all need a morning routine like his. Kudos to his parents. ❤

This little boy is for sure going places as he grows up! Way to go mom and dad for understanding the assignment of parenting ❤😂

This kid is being set up for success in academics and in mental health in general. I feel like being able to take that quiet time every day does wonders for ones self-esteem, anxiety, educational development, self control etc etc. These parents are simply amazing.

We LOVE his book! “I am smart, I am blessed, I can anything.” I had no idea it was based off of a real kid/family.

Powerful when a father speaks positivity/blessing over his child.

Not every kid could do this. A great deal comes from his personality. His parents are doing good facilitating his needs.

We need more parents like this!

I can’t even handle the amount of cuteness here… 😩🥹♥️ He’s ADORABLE!!! 😍

4:33...Ayaan's beautiful name means gift from God. Indeed! Train UP a child in the way that he/she should go, and when he/she grows old, he/she won't depart from it. God bless this wondrous child of His and his precious family. It's so refreshing to see a child who loves reading actual books, having quiet time, and doing things that are meaningful and productive, as opposed to being on electronic devices or playing video games most of the time. This touched my heart in a very special way & brought me to tears. I can feel the hand of the Lord upon this amazing little guy. Thanks for sharing him with us, dear parents & Today Show! Dear Lord, please keep Ayaan in ALL his ways; guard his heart, soul and mind & protect him daily; keep him on Your path of righteousness. May all of Your plans for His life be realized, for Your glory & his betterment. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Wow! His language!!! I am a speech pathologist and I am amazed by his language. Always producing complete sentences. Congrats to his parents. Great parents, great kids

This gentleman can enunciate words and construct sentences better than a lot of adults. Way to go, parents!

I love that his parents didn't pressure him to adhere to a memorized script. His authenticity really surfaced when he started talking about the science club & his friend, Peter (a.k.a. The Boss). 😂

Did you see his face as Dad was saying all those positive things about him? Dads, you just don't know how important it is to speak life into your children!

Such a well-read, intelligent, and mannered child!!! He is the poster child for a well-mannered child. Notice how he never interrupts grown-ups!!! Excellent parenting!

As a reading intervention specialist I can say that reading reading reading at home, modeled by parents, is free and bonding and it will set them up for success for the rest of their school years! So many kids come to school stressed and not ready to learn so I applaud this family and want to see more!

Mom and Dad your are awesome!! Love your dedication, discipline, and excellent role model Mom and Dad.

This child has truly proven how we all could use some quite time! Silence this raggedy world we live in and be calming in the end!❤

That kid is a wise gem 💎& he is blessed by amazing parents. If all kids had parents even half as good as those parents, we’d be living in an entirely different world.

What an adorable little boy. I had a feeling he was from a Caribbean household. Many of the children I teach who come from Caribbean households are like this, they are an absolute joy to teach. Well done Mom and Dad!

He was so excited when he started talking about his future goals. I'd love to know why he wants that formula specifically. He's so adorable!

Shoutout to these parents! This little guy is so inspiring. 🧡

The way Ion looks at his dad as dad speak good things about him. You can see his confidence grow right out of his chest

The way he started smiling when his Dad started speaking positively about him… ❤️

He has so much wisdom in his eyes. He's very special. May he be happy, healthy and successful in life.

Was inspired by his affirmations...I'm gonna start that with my kids...I'm smart,I'm blessed and I can do anything 🙏.Thanks Ayaan and parents

These parents are the gold standard of what all parents should be. Wow! Great job!

I love the fact that he is reading real books and not using a tablet or other electronic device. What a wonderful child and family. Books were always a treat and a gift in our household with bedtime reading every night before prayers to allow the children to wind down after a busy day.

He’s too cute, I can’t cope. What a little Ray of sunshine and such a lovely blessed family. The bit out what he’d creat as a scientist 😭

As a special education teacher; this warns my heart. Parents continue doing the great work.

A tea company needs to hire him quickly, I’d buy their tea guaranteed!!

Shoutout to Alissa and Alpha on raising a wonderful young man! Ayaan is going to go very far in life!!

Well spoken, disciplined child, well spoken disciplined parents. Beautiful family 💖

Beyond adorable! Credit to the parents for raising such an amazing child!

This is parenting done right! He feels loved and safe and well nurtured! I hope ion goes far in the world!!!

Love the way his little face lights up when dad says he’s a gift 🎁 & awesome kid! 💕 Every child needs to be reminded daily how important they are….😉

Good job mom and dad! Keep up the good work! We need more families like this!!

Wow, this little boy's morning routine is truly inspiring! It's amazing to see how he takes the time to calm himself down, enjoy his tea, and engage in quiet activities before starting his day. I can totally relate to feeling rushed in the mornings, and I think we can all learn something from his approach. His parents have done a fantastic job nurturing his love for reading and introducing him to different stories. It's wonderful to see him find solace in books and embrace the joy of reading. And his affirmations are absolutely empowering! The fact that he recites them on his own shows the positive impact they've had on his confidence and motivation. It's evident that Ion is a special child with remarkable qualities. His desire to become a scientist and his involvement in a scientist club at school is impressive for someone his age. His idea of creating a formula to prolong life is ambitious and shows his curiosity and imagination. I truly admire Ion's parents for recognizing and fostering his unique abilities and interests. They have set high expectations for him, and he has risen to meet them. It's a reminder that we should trust and believe in our children's potential. Ion's name, meaning "gift from God," is truly fitting because he is indeed a gift. It's heartwarming to see Ion's enthusiasm for reading and his interactions with Jenna. Their thoughtful gifts and support further reinforce his passion for learning. I have no doubt that Ion will continue to achieve great things in the future. Keep shining, Ion! You are an inspiration to us all.

As a single mother I took my children to the library. It was such a blessing as the little boy would hold in his hands the books we checked out & said " Mommy can I get more books for I read all of these." Happy I was as it paid off. Today my son is a school teacher of many gifts to children that need help. He paid for all his college Masters by working sometimes 3 jobs. He also is in the Army Reserves. This little guy is sending a message too parents that will listen. Happy to know he has two parents that care, listen and most of all love him.❤

my heart bursts every time he says "quiet activity" lol what a little angel

What a handsome, intelligent and well behaved little boy. A gentleman in the making.

We do this with my son and it truly is incredible to see this being celebrated. Nothing like quiet time, affirmations and positive uplifting words and a beautiful supportive family.

I cannot deal with this level of cuteness 🥰 He says it’s his quiet time, so adorable!❤

By 10, he’ll write a book. By 12, he’ll have his podcast and Ted Talk and I can’t wait! All the best to this little one❤

I knew it. He watches Dad do the same thing. Parents set the example one way or the other. Awesome parents here.

I love the fact that he is so calm yet very confident. Simply amazing

I like the fact she said he is an extraordinary child, it is clear his natural temperament is being calm and composed. Comparing him to other kids who do not have his temperament is a mistake. His parents helped him to channel these amazing features of his into the right direction. Well done to them all 🎉

this is my son! even now at 18 he chooses to start his day early with praise and worship, he always gets to work 15 min early so he can have quiet reflection in his car before work🙏, its a wonderful tool to teach children -that they can insist on how their own day will begin instead of rushing to everything, being chaotic and always playing catch up. Bravo parents!

It’s amazing to see a little kid who loves reading so much!

He's going to be a great scientist and has wonderful parents! I'm taking notes ❤

I am moved by the positivity the parents are passing unto their son. Teaching him to be humble and enpowering through education. This young tot has a bright future ahead! So proud :)

He seems like such a calm and gentle soul 😭 and his parents seem like such lovely people as well. Love this

I've been grieving the loss of my brother and this video genuinely lifted my spirit. The most heartwarming thing I've seen all day. What a sweet boy and beautiful family. Loved everything about this video 🥹

That Young man is gonna be very successful ✊🏾❤

As an adult who is still struggling with confidence it’s really nice to see kids doing this from a young age it really does have an affect on what you feel capable of doing as you grow older and how to process things in life… wishing him all the success in the world ❤❤❤

What really caught me was the look on Ayaan's face when his dad was talking about how amazing he is. Love this! It's so empowering.

These are the kinds of stories we need. This kiddo is amazing. Love it. He’s going places!

He’s so adorable ❤❤❤ God bless this family

This little soul is going to change the world! His parents have taught him the power of affirmations and allow him to ease into his day to set him up for success! Wishing this family peace and abundance and joy 🌻

What a smart and darling little boy 😀 He has figured out the secret to a great day...a calm and purposeful morning. My 4 year-old niece used to scream and fight in the mornings because she hated to be dragged out of bed, forced into her clothes, buckled into the car and handed a banana (all within about 15 minutes) in the mornings. My sister finally tried something different, getting up earlier herself and then giving my niece an hour in the mornings to wake- up and do the whole morning routine. My niece got to calmly drink her milk, watch a bit of her favorite tv shows, play with toys etc. By the time she needed to get in the car, she was happy and willing to go to preschool 🏫

OMG he is just the cutest little boy. What wonderful parents he has! Instilling a love of reading is one of the single best things you can do for a child.

A shinning example of what Parenting really needs to be in the world. Congrats again to the parents. A pleasing breath of fresh air.

Precious little boy. You can see how he's thriving in a household with intentional parents! I don't think they've necessarily set "high expectations," but just helped him flourish with clear, consistent and fair rules.

Imagine a world where all parents encourage their children like this. What a future to look forward to. Well done.

Beautifully dedicated parents, wonderful dedicated child! Such a happy sight to see.

He is so precious. I wish I would’ve had the skills these parents do.

This kid has amazing parents! They encourage his curiosity and hunger for reading and knowledge. I definitely think he will grow up into a successful young man!

It's uplifting to see parents protect their children from the traps of the world around them. They are a beautiful family doing things the right way! ❤️❤️❤️

He is such an amazing child. I absolutely love how calm he is. He is going to do amazing things, and the way his dad affirmed him the look on his face is priceless. I LOVE IT! His parents are doing a great job. He is a blessed child, and they are blessed parents to have him as a child. Keep being great little man!

This made me tear up. This was so very cute !!!

Are you kidding me with this absolutely precious family?!?!? They’re ALL so beautiful 🤩 Great job Mama & Daddy!!!

I love that his parents are giving him what he needs instead of implementing their agenda upon him. I am overjoyed that he actually gets that quiet time to himself especially since he has younger siblings.

This warms my heart to the end, I could watch him the entire day and not get tired. I applaud you the mama and papa for being so committed to raising him. God bless you child.

He's so sweet and precious that I'm in tears

Great kids are a reflection of great parents (at least that’s the hope).

His spirit is beautiful. I love that he’s grounded like that. So inspiring.

This little boy is an old soul : His marvellous parents are definitely blessed !!!

What a beautiful, calm, and old soul. He will go far in life!

Mom and dad doing everything right. This boy is making impact at 6. Amazing story

Great parents raise great kids, and they are definitely an example. It would be wonderful if the world had more of such families ❤

This brought tears to my eyes. What a beautiful family

This little boy is blessed with parents who have the heart & sound mind to raise him properly! I wish all children could have the same.

This is what real parenting means! What a great child they are raising! This kid will become a great scientist one day and he will give back to his community and to his country!👏👏👏👏👏👏

Such a wonderful kind hearted boy. It made me teary!

Ayaan and his parents were such a breath of fresh air. Blessings!
