She's smart: she's thinking, "Shit, I need to to come up with something better than tantrums. What was that 'use your words' crap they were saying the other day?"

Lmao you can definitely see the wheels turning and processing going on. I love how she keeps trying to cry thinking “ ok ok it’ll work this time”

Idk how old that kid in but my toddler does this. It’s so hard not to laugh at her. She’s the cutest

I’ve also heard of parents lying down on the ground in a supermarket, flailing around, to make children blink and realise they are being ridiculous.

That's how I got my son to stop throwing himself on the floor in the supermarket. Surprisingly effective.
I've got picture after picture of him having tantrums on the floor in the street. I'd tried lots of things - ignoring the tantrum, talking and validating his feelings, being firm. Nothing worked. Having my own tantrum a couple of times stopped it altogether

Honestly, we practiced just leaving my daughter on the floor and just stepped right on over her.
She would get scared we were going to leave her and pop right back up and run after us.

One trick I learned as a male nanny is when the kid is crying, I go "Hey hey! My turn!" all excitedly then I fake cry.
They stop and watch, then I go: "Okay, your turn!" and they cry for a short time then I go "MY TURN!"
I ask then to go again and they stop.

Sometimes hearing how silly you sound helps realize you should stop 😅🤣🤣

Can confirm. At home I was the Golden Child and as far as my mom was concerned I could do no wrong. I never knew how annoying I was until I caught another kid at school imitating me behind my back. I was horrified into cleaning up my act and the transformation was immediate.

If only half the people in this world had that kind of introspection and acted on it, we would be so much better off. Kudos to you for pulling through being a GC.

Talking out loud does the trick for me..... but then I get funny looks from people when I do it in public and the cycle restarts

In my case I did this to a niece and she did stop crying... To walk over to her parents to tattle on me that i'm going "wah wah" at her.

My dad used to do this lol. I do it when I know my niece is pulling out those crocodile tears. Babygirl you're almost 2 I know you're not THAT upset about not drinking from my cup instead of yours. We both have water. I can make that noise too.

Applauding tantrums (clapping, cheering) can also be effective for stopping them.

u/TheRealLost0 3d ago
genuinely curious, how so? I would imagine it could do the opposite

u/Bebenten 3d ago
I'm not sure but maybe 'cause applauding/cheering wasn't the reaction kids would expect out of tantrums

u/Interesting-Train-47 3d ago
Shocks them and makes them think they're doing something wrong to get the effect they desire. Shut my youngest granddaughter up in a flash when I did it to her a couple of times.

u/TheRealLost0 3d ago
huh, parents made me think something like that would encourage bad behavior and make them entitled, interesting

u/human_cheetopuff 3d ago
The tantrum is the reaction to being denied their bad behavior, not the original bad behavior itself. Children are very aware that you don’t like their screaming and crying and know there is a chance of you doing what they want just to make them stop crying. By pretending you’re enjoying it you are giving them the opposite reaction they were hoping for (annoyance or pity).

u/Dreamsnaps19 2d ago
So the idea behind a tantrum is that they’re not getting something they want.
They tantrum because at some point someone has given in and given them what they want.
For most kids, cheering them on isn’t what they want so it will stop the tantrum.
This could obviously easily backfire when attention is what the kid wants. And you’ve now rewarded the kid with positive attention.

I tried doing this to my niece and I got in trouble by her mom cause she said I was gonna cause trauma for making fun of her…..🤦🏻♂️

u/realisticallymagical 3d ago
The blinking hard to make the tears come at the end was too funny. She was like "stop cutting in!! It's my time to be dramatic!!"

u/brian4nu 3d ago
Love this. I’ve used this technique before. It teaches children how ridiculous they’re being.

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

This is the cutest video I've seen in here in a while. When she looks into the camera with those big eyes, it's like she's doing the Puss in Boots stare. This, folks, is why daddy's little girl usually gets away with murder. Lol too adorable.
