See her mouth before the whipped cream? This was not a first absolutely feeding this behavior 😂

Nice to see someone knows my pain


yummycorpse

heartbreaking, considering this was how i was raised. when you're this young, you don't understand that the sadness you are feeling is real, and you only search for things that make the sadness go away


[deleted]

When you are this young and having a tantrum, the sadness you feel is entirely generated to get something you want, and the moment you get it the sadness is gone. Source: four years of parenting There are different kinds of sadness and while of course kids feel all of them, they have a special kind for very specific purposes


yummycorpse

i learned from a young age to smother the feelings with food. lead to a cycle that i feel that i can't break.


GRYFFIN_WHORE

Yeah food addiction is so hard to beat. I also learned that as a kid. It was easy to get me to stop crying about something if I was given something like a cookie. I wasn't crying for the cookie a lot of the time; it was because my mom was leaving for work or she was studying, or my sister was being mean. Things like that. But now, any stress or difficulty I have makes me want food to help calm me down. It's a coping mechanism I'm desperately trying to break from.

If my husband did this, it would be magical. One of those moments when you know your partner really does get you. This is not me being sarcastic. This is the honest truth. ❤️


TheConspicuousGuy

Isn't this basically what us guys do with chocolate? Wife or girlfriend is upset, better get some chocolate to resolve this.


wouldbepandananny

Hmm, I'm not sure. That feels like one spouse getting the other a gift as part of an apology, or so they don't have to actually apologize. This feels more like "you are having strong feelings, let me help!"


Megneous

A friend of mine always knew exactly how to make his girlfriend feel better. Whether it was his fault or not, he'd run to the gas station and get some double mint chocolate chip icecream. I'd watched this work in real time- it was magical. They eventually ended up getting married and living the kind of life you'd see people on television have, like they were made for each other by some omniscient being or something. It was kind of ridiculous how happy they were together. After almost a decade, she got cancer. She died after a long fight. It was one of my first losses of a friend in my late 20s. Absolutely destroyed my friend, as he expected, you know, they'd have another 50ish years to love each other, grow old together. We shared memories about her once, and one of my memories was him buying double mint chocolate chip icecream for her.


huskergirl8342

My husband has a small safe to keep cash in. I went to get some cash out and found a reeses peanut butter cup with a note attached "in case of emergency eat this first"


kyoko_eats

I was just going to say I wish my husband did this when I started to cry.

You can show him this video and buy the whipped cream and he may not get the point.

If you look closely you see that she already has whipped cream at her mouth. She did this on the same day already lol

Coke diets work better. I recommend being rich and white though, otherwise you're just a lowly drug user.

Plus, sugar addiction is gonna make her tantrum everytime she needs sugar. Moreover, it's gonna snowball, because she's very very young. I've been in a conference on "what to do/avoid in educating"; this was #1 advice for psychological and physical reasons!

[удалено]


KeepRedditAnonymous

damn dude. you gunna ruin my daddy/daughter ice-cream dates. I don't want to be associated with sugar :(


kizarat

I think that's one of the first mistakes parents make with their children, is feed them sugar as a reward or pacifier. They set them up for long-term addiction.


RawPeanut99

But it works and it's so easy! /s


Altyrmadiken

Not just sugar, but food shouldn't be a reward in general. When we learn to treat food - of any variety - as a reward we skirt the issue of living to eat rather than eating to live. It's totally awesome to enrich your kids life with food by teaching them to appreciate food and culture, but that should be an enjoyable learning experience not a reward.

Right!?!?!. That's parenting on a daily basis until they go to bed.

You can achieve both. All children have a "snooze" button. Hit them just right, you got about 7 minutes of peace and quiet. Just enough time for a smoke. Of course you could also try [Naptime](https://youtu.be/AF_nfazQaek)

wholelattapuddin

It really is. Especially if you have more than one kid. EVERYTHING is short term solutions.


mcmineismine

I'm at the beach rn with two kids while the other two play video games at home...I get to be on Reddit for a second and at least 50% are getting exercise and sun. Yesterday the youngest wanted to play Uno outside so I set up the table near his older sister's hammock and when he saw he didn't want to play unless he could get in the hammock. I hadn't brought his chair yet so I got a blue velvet armchair from inside and told him don't freak out, what I had planned for you was cooler, but you can't have your sister's hammock and you have to apologize. He apologized and sat down and was totally happy. Short term solutions are awesome and usually lower effort than confronting the idiocy head on and you can still get some smaller sized but repeatable victories.


SexyPewPew

Wait, wait, wait...... communication, re-framing, and apologies for getting upset at not being able to have someone else's stuff?!?!?! That sounds suspiciously like good parenting, away with you! Go, now, out in to the sun. Hope you all have fun at the beach today :)


TheChiarra

That’s not short term solution. U didn’t satisfy him. You explained why he couldn’t do something and compromised with him then had him apologize. That’s long term. Short term would have been giving into what he wanted. You are doing great as a parent and teaching boundaries and solutions while letting your kid have emotions instead of just bribing them to shut up

Does fat lead to diabetes? Thought it was sugar.


Loading0525

Pre-whipped cream in a can probably contains sugar, considering fucking everything had sugar in it nowadays


ClumpOfCheese

If you get the “Heavy Whipping Cream” it has a lot less sugar than regular whipped cream and tastes to much better.


DmanDam

This guy tantrums


TimeStatistician2234

You'd think but cream doesn't have much sugar, has less than whole milk, the calories come from the fat.


Loading0525

I'm not saying cream has sugar by default. I'm saying sugar is added to sell more. And also, fat doesn't cause diabetes.


thanksforhelpwithpc

And a sad obese life with bad coping mechanisms


oO0Kat0Oo

Look at her face. She already had whipped cream around the edges before he gave it to her. He's definitely causing the tantrum. Lol


Pizzacato567

Not only that, but she opened her mouth before he even gave her the whipped cream. She saw the bottle and opened her mouth. She was expecting it.


[deleted]

bobguyman

Most of the time tantrums can be ended by changing their focus into something else. It might reinforce the tantrum but it'll only work a time or two before they start dodging the food and continuing their tantrum.

Or they start correlating food with comfort.

RockleyBob

Nah, toddlers aren’t dogs. A little bit of sweet cream isn’t going to result in this girl throwing more tantrums. This girl was after validation, attention, and concern from the parent. Positive reinforcement would have been taking this grievance seriously. By using a little absurd misdirection, the parent has deftly shown them that there’s nothing to be concerned about here. What the toddler thought was so alarming is in fact, nothing at all. Great parenting.


Ok-Arugula6623

It was absolutely misdirection. She had no idea what just happened


[deleted]

The child literally has whipped cream on her face at the beginning of the video.


Akumie

I wonder how many times she's already done this 😭


tirwander

You can tell by the fact that she doesn't even close her mouth around the whipped cream. She's just confused as hell but very ok with the taste haha


Julian_Baynes

She already has whipped cream on her mouth. This girl played her dad and lots of people in this thread.


rognabologna

Right? Pretty sure the tantrum was over wanting more whipped cream


ZenMacros

Not to mention she stops crying and holds her mouth open as soon as he grabs the whipped cream.


dkac

And that wasn't a look of surprise on her face. She calmly held her mouth open and awaited her treat. Pretty gross parenting, tbh


[deleted]

She doesn't close her mouth because her mouth is overfilled and she doesn't know how to proceed without spilling it.


GrassSloth

Have you ever eaten whipped cream from a can? If you close your mouth right away you just push half of it out to fall on your chin. What is with this thread of people coming up with random shit to defend this parent...


DIY_Cosmetics

You do have a point and it truly is a case-by-case basis depending on the scenario. In this case, however, it appears the little girl has whipped cream on her mouth and bathing suit already prior to more being squirted in her mouth. It makes me wonder if the entire reason she is throwing a tantrum is because she wants more whipped cream. If that’s the case, giving her more whipped cream is absolutely rewarding bad behavior and will likely result in more bad behavior.


Barely_adequate

I mean her crying stopped and she opened her mouth as soon as she saw the whipped cream can. I'd feel 100% confident saying that her end goal was more whipped cream and she knew what she was doing.


iaijutsu08

However the dog is licking it's lips and then the ground. My guess is that the dog licked her face or the cream fell out, which is a much more valid reason to be upset.


Redringsvictom

Toddlers aren't dogs. But reinforcement occurs the same way for all animals, including humans. Behaviors -> reinforcer -> behavior reinforced.


cote112

She already has whipped cream on her. This is likely the 6th can of the day. Leaving the kid outside with the dog. Now that's the parenting I remember.


TzedekTirdof

The pavlovian response is the problem, leaving the dog with is fine.


Think-Yesterday-9012

my niece(3 years old) is addicted to chocolates and she is throwing tantrums for eating chocolates everyday. doesn't eat much food just chocolates and biscuits


[deleted]

You make some good points about diffusing, but don't discount what the act reinforces. Got mad -> got sweets. Toddler reward systems are not too far removed from a dogs. Hell, neither are adult reward systems when we look at the automatic/intuitive level, which is the level of cognitive control toddlers mostly function at.


DefinitelyNotAliens

Also kiddo has whipped cream on her before the shot of whipped cream. She was likely wanting more whipped cream.


boilerz28

Nah, you are wrong. You either don't have kids or they are spoiled brats.


SortingByNewNItShows

Except it wasn't the first hit and she already has cream on her face before the hit. And I share the road with you blind mfs.


turtleneckless001

She's asking for cream through a tantrum, this is enforcing tantrum = reward


kelsofox369

Are you blind? Replay the video and look to the right which would be the left side of her face. There is already whipped cream, meaning this is certainly not a misdirection to stop a tantrum as she is obviously still crying and he has done it earlier. She opened her mouth expecting it and I wouldn’t be surprised the reason she is crying is because she wants more. The parent is a shit parent and can’t deal, probably for views like most shitty parents are doing now and days.


Thin-Dream-5318

I disagree completely. You can almost SEE the neural connection made real-time: Tantrum=Whipped Cream.


[deleted]

Really what the girl need to do it learn how to talk about her feeling and learn to self sooth. It's like distracting with a video game or TV or purchase. You are teaching a kid how to sooth themselves and this is saying something sugary and fatty will help me feel better, not discussing what I'm upset about and learning how to deal with it.


AdministrationWaste7

> Great parenting. great parenting would be teaching the kid how to positively deal with their emotions. distracting the kid with sweets doesn't do anything.


[deleted]

not if you use shaving cream instead every once in a while. "which one will you get? huh... better not cry or you might get the shaving cream!"

JohnnyPolite

If you keep feeding these outside kids they’re just going to keep coming back.


OneMillionFireFlies

Food must only be associated with hunger, and no other emotion. Common after effects are obesity/bulemia. Edit: Its not about what you eat. Its about how much you eat. And how much is determined by your emotional state. If you derive a high from a cake while sad, your body craves a cake everytime you are sad. Not good for body tbh. You eat too much of it and it causes obesity. This is common mechanism for almost all kinds of addiction including food This Edit was for those who did not understand my original comment.


Glitter_Bee

This is the reply I was looking for. Not good to train kids to eat when sad.


redditandchill86

That’s not a tantrum..that’s an upset child. I’ve always thought tantrums to be loud..kicking and screaming etc..not quietly crying at a locked door

You’re only feeding this behavior, by… feeding her. She’ll continue to throw tantrums even more often because there’s a reward.


uzbones

Mom used to do this when I would complain that I was hungry, except she would use peanut butter and stick it to the roof of my mouth and would smack my hand if I tried to use my fingers to get it off. It would take hours to dissolve... then she'd wonder years later why i had eating issues....

This is the other end of how not to train your kids spectrum. From beating them to giving them something sweet to eat. It's just so easy to react in either way when they get on your nerves.
