Dash Cam Video Captures Son Teaching Dad About "Big Feelings" During Traffic Incident

A family's dash cam captured the wholesome moment a seven-year-old boy taught his dad about managing his "big feelings" after a close encounter with a dangerous driver. Princeton, aged seven, from Centreville, Virginia, was traveling with his father, Park, 38, when the incident took place on June 20. The pair were heading for a father-son day at a waterpark, when a driver to Park's left passed him without using their signal, crossing over into Park's lane and running a red light. Park came extremely close to the bumper of the crossing car, causing him to shout out an expletive while saying, "Are you kidding me?" As traffic then pulled to a halt, Park said, "I'm just glad we're safe," to which his son encouraged him to take a deep breath. Park agreed, and Princeton then went on to explain that his teacher advised him to rub his hands together when feeling stressed, before placing them on his cheeks and letting out a deep breath. Having seen his son do this, Park followed suit, before looking visibly emotional and saying, "You teach me so many wonderful things every day. I love being your dad, bro."
