Petaling Jaya — Noor Nabila treats her four-year-old son like a miniature adult and the internet is listening.

“Jayden is the kind of child who absorbs things with maturity,” the 41-year-old entrepreneur told Kosmo! Online after the launch of her banana-milk brand Nilofa.
Nabila says she fields every question Jayden throws at her, even when his queries fall outside the realm of a typical preschooler’s vocabulary. “He’s spontaneous. You have to respond as if he’s an adult,” she said. “If he asks why I installed solar panels, I tell him they power the air-conditioner at noon, and I don’t get angry. That’s how he picks up answers that sometimes surprise us.”
The attention that follows Jayden’s candid remarks can make Nabila uncomfortable, yet she has learned to ignore outside opinions. “It’s awkward at times, but since our family is already national conversation, we’ve reached the point where we don’t care what others say,” she said. “I find it funny that someone who barely knows him can form such strong views.”
Videos of Jayden rejecting mosque visits in favour of praying at home, and asking his mother not to compare him to his cousin Bilal, have reinforced his online persona as “Baby Jayden,” a label the boy adopted himself.
