SA mom gives son taste of his own medicine and throws a tantrum at a grocery store
Meanwhile, Briefly News reported that most parents have, at one point, dealt with a frustrated child in public. Children who cannot properly communicate their anger end up throwing tantrums in full view of strangers, which might be embarrassing for some parents.
One mother, @thoanie9410, posted a TikTok video of how she ended her son's public tantrum. She copied his behaviour and started rolling on the floor and screaming.
The boy was so surprised by his mom's behaviour he stared at her with his arms folded.
