This mother knows how to stop a tantrum in its tracks. When her son starts to cry about brushing his teeth, instead of scolding him and trying to get him to stop, she encourages him to just cry it out.
Because I don’t speak Cantonese, kidspot reports that the mother calmly says, “Just cry, just cry. You’re going to feel better when you cry it out.” When he says “yes” but still continues to cry, she repeats the phrase to help calm him down.
In less than 30 seconds, he goes from being on the verge of a meltdown to happily brushing his teeth. Crisis adverted.
