One dad has gone viral for his unorthodox but effective way of stopping a toddler tantrum in its tracks

When Kat Bonny‘s daughter Olivia was with the family at an airport, the toddler’s patience began to wear thin – understandably – and tempers frayed.

Dad was ready for her. See how he handled it.

According to Kat, it’s a tip he picked up from the dad in Bluey.

The clip, which was originally shared last August, has gone viral after being boosted by Pubity, picking up almost 21 million views, as well as more than 5,000 comments. Here are a few we enjoyed.

It’s not a perfect system.

I did this to my 3 year old and she screamed even louder “BUT I DONT WANNA GO TO JAIL” lmao doesn’t work for all of em.

Amber Grayy had a question.

If a child refuses a nap is that called resisting a rest?
