Three-year-old Ghanaian girl's impressive braiding skills
This is proof that you are never too young to learn a skill...
The belief that we can learn more from children than we think is right on the money in most instances. One of those children is a three-year-old girl from Ghana, who has been nicknamed 'Serious Madam'.
Lordina Nancy has won over the internet and her community at a tender age with her impressive hairstyling talent. She even gained a chair at her mother's salon, attracting customers.
Despite her small stature, she holds a serious demeanour, hence her nickname, 'Serious Madam'. Aminu Yahaya told the BBC that she's had many new customers because social media videos showcased Nancy's braiding skills.
"Nancy picked up the skill naturally, helping her mother with a small task that showcased her affinity for braiding. Now, she helps customers one head at a time between her naps and school," according to Black Enterprise.

Despite her talents and how she contributes to her mother's business, her mom said she still supports her child's ambitions and education, whether she decides to follow in her footsteps.
As a mother, I am supporting her to be in school, and when she grows up and makes her own career choice, I will support her. I am happy she can do this without any training. Nobody taught her how to braid. It makes me happy.
It is truly inspiring to see how perceptive this young child is. She is passionate about braiding and styling, and watching her mother work might have sparked her skills.
This story is a true testament to the idea that children learn by watching and observing their parents. This is a firm reminder that we are significant in shaping their growth and development.
