Showing schoolwork to parents can be a nerve-wracking experience, as children often worry about meeting expectations and avoiding disappointment. People online sympathised with one boy after seeing a video of his stern-looking mother checking his progress.

Crossing fingers for the outcome

TikTokker @_ss.seasson_ uploaded a viral video showing the interaction between his mother and possibly his younger brother. Both sat on a couch, and the mother flipped the pages of the boy's school workbook.

Crossing his fingers, the young man watched the woman silently as she assessed the work before her.
