I was SHOCKED by the number of positive comments on this video praising the parents for “actually disciplining their child.” Withholding a treat & then taunting a toddler because they’re crying about it is the OPPOSITE of good parenting. I was equally shocked by the number of grown adults in the comments making fun of the child for his weight. Children NEED discipline. But discipline doesn’t have to be harsh or punitive. It involves giving a child structure, maintaining boundaries, showing empathy, and encouraging good behavior via positive reinforcement/rewards.
