Mom records baby distracted by ‘random things’ in viral parenting video
Every parent will agree that getting things done at home with the little one crying constantly around you is very difficult. Even their favorite toys provide them no comfort at such a time. All they want is their mom or dad to carry them around or play with them. However, there is one way to distract your crying baby instantly and get your work done. Simply hand your kids some random things. This trick will work like magic. Take a hint from this mom who uses this method to stop her baby from crying.
In the video uploaded by @thehawkinsfam, a cute baby cries her heart out. But she instantly becomes “happy” when her mom hands her some “random stuff” like “clip, garbage and water bottle.” The new items instantly fascinate the baby, who now gets quiet and starts smiling with the new things in her hand. Looking at her child’s squealing, even mom could not stop laughing and questioning, “Who needs toys” when she has random things in her hand.
The adorable reaction of the baby touched many Instagram users, who immediately took over the comment section. One person wrote, “She’s adorable.” Another mentioned, “Classic distraction tactics.” Another user with a similar experience wrote, “I had a bag full of random stuff including an old landline phone, I used it to feed my son, for every morsel I would handover something. And immediately after meals I would collect everything and keep the bag aside.”
