Laurel Liprando is only 3 years old. But she’s tall for her age — the same height as some older kids — and that often makes her feel like she’s one of the big kids. As young as she is, Laurel cares about looking out for the kids she thinks of as “younger.” Recently, this inspired Laurel to step up as a Kidsburgh Kind Kid.

At the park, “she’s always eager to play with the older children,” her mother, Ashley Liprando, tells Kidsburgh. One day at the park, “she saw a little girl who was new to walking and walked over to help her navigate the playground.”

Echoing the kind behavior of caring parents and teachers, “she held her hand and pointed out to her different aspects of the park,” says Ashley.

“This act of kindness made me proud that she wanted to help a younger child explore, instead of thinking about all she wanted to do and play with.”
