I’m a mum - I found a 5p trick that will instantly stop kids from having a tantrum but some parents are slamming it

A MUM has shared her easy hack for instantly getting her crying toddler to stop having a tantrum – and it takes less than 10 seconds.

TikTok user Makaya Borgus uploaded a video showing her simple method, which probably costs around 5p.

On her @makayaborgus account, she showed her wailing child standing in the garden outside the door.

The mum showed how she simply opened the door and put some squirty cream in her mouth, and the little girl instantly calmed down and looked happier.

Makaya said: “Works like a charm.”

With squirty cream just £1.20 from Asda – it could be a cheap way to cheer up your kids.

The video has racked up nearly a million likes, and some parents praised her idea.

One said: “And just like that, World Peace.”

Another added: “It works on adults as well, I just checked.”

And a third commented: “This is awesome!!!”

However, not everyone thought it was the best method, and one said: “I’m feel like this might have negative results later on life.”

A second wrote: “EMOTIONAL EATING” and someone replied: “How to reward a tantrum to encourage repeating the behaviour.”
