More than that, he was being supported by at least five other neighborhood kids, who were holding his bike upright and teaching him how to keep his balance.

Oh, they trying — the neighborhood kids trying to teach my baby how to ride the bike with no training wheels. And I think it’s just the cutest thing.

How a Young Boy in Need Showed the Power in Asking for Help

Mykel had been determined to learn that day, and had not been afraid to ask his peers for help. In return, the neighborhood kids didn’t shame or reduce Mykel to someone who needed training wheels. Instead, they put their teacher hats on and supported Mykel, teaching him and physically holding him up.

We can learn something from this generation. It’s okay to ask for help and it’s definitely okay to help each other.

We can all learn something amazing from this adorable little moment: Never be afraid to ask for help, and always offer a supportive hand. Your kindness will always be remembered and appreciated by those around you.
