I hope my kids are as resilient as that little girl

Best hope so. I feel for the boy. That had to be a whole living nightmare from the moment he froze up.

Idk why a parent or teacher didn't go and help him or anything

u/mildobamacare Jul 29 '24

Learning to overcome is part of life. It looks to me like hes learned crying solves problems

u/chupagatos4 Jul 29 '24

He looks like he's like 3 or 4. That's a totally normal response to have to begin in such a stimulating environment. Not everything is a teaching moment.

u/EditzTingz Jul 29 '24

Bro he's a child. This is how I know you lot don't have many relationships with children

I guess that's a good start, but I feel we are lacking another step to solving the underlying issue

u/ElementNumber6 Jul 29 '24

That's right. For the full life experience you gotta get some parents in the front row pointing and laughing at him, too.

u/undeadmanana Jul 29 '24

Probably throwing tomatoes will help him move out the way

u/Hopalongtom Jul 29 '24

He doesn't have to dance and nobody is making him!

u/mildobamacare Jul 29 '24

Because you're going to be required to do things in life you don't want to do, and shutting down and crying is never the answer. You don't learn to overcome by having mommy rush in and fix it. This is, unironically, really good parenting.

u/IrishEyesAreDying Jul 29 '24

Spoken like someone with zero parenting skills. This is a child, not a pre-teen who can comprehend the value of whatever 'suck-it-up' lesson you want to teach.

u/Mr_Greaz Jul 29 '24

Don’t get started on the oldies here, they had to endure a 10km walk with no shoes to their school. YOU HAVE TO OVERCOME THAT IN LIFE OR YOU NEVER GONNA LEARN IT. I swear I’m so glad my parents weren’t as cold and delusional when I grew up.

well hes like 5, a bit of slack wont kill him

The best parenting method for toddlers is sink or swim

u/EditzTingz Jul 29 '24

No literally, he's a child. They're actually so odd.

u/chupagatos4 Jul 29 '24

Yeah I need to get off the Internet, it's just making me hate people.

u/Suspicious_Law_2826 Jul 29 '24

Or his parents! Cuz that was my Dad.

u/extraproe Jul 29 '24

Rather 3-4

u/hooka_hooka Jul 29 '24

Right? Maybe a little hug and some encouragement will have him overcome the moment instead of this potentially being something he will have to overcome/deal with later in life

11

u/ThePerfumeCollector Jul 29 '24

Crying when someone is emotional often helps though. I doubt that he is intentionally crying with the purpose of solving the shitty situation he is in. Also, it’s a kid.

u/McFlyyouBojo Jul 29 '24

These are redditors you are replying to. Remember that lol.

u/uselessta16283 Jul 29 '24

No it fucking isn’t this is how you develop permanent trust issues. This shit would not work on people with social anxiety and autism.

Hmm, I hadn't thought of that, I wonder if their reactions would have been different if the genders were reversed? Based on reactions I've seen on the internet to similar situations, if the girl was crying and the boy kept dancing, people might start blaming the boy for not helping their dance partner.

u/Primary-Border8536 Jul 29 '24

I honest to god can't believe the amount of people that are treating this literal 4 year old like he's a big kid. A bit of encouragement could help. Not every kid is the same. I used to be so scared and still as an adult sweat and feel like I'm gonna pass out when I am on stage in front of people. I shake I can't deal with it. This is just cruel

u/NoriOnline Jul 29 '24

autism is one thing but social anxiety can be overcome, stop enabling

u/uselessta16283 Jul 29 '24

Its not “enabling” hes a fucking toddler

1

u/NoriOnline Jul 29 '24

ok but this toddler will grow up & continue on this way if he’s coddled everytime he faces adversity

1

u/uselessta16283 Jul 29 '24

You are making a lot of assumptions about someone you don’t know. Men are allowed to cry too.

1

u/NoriOnline Jul 29 '24

yes men are allowed to cry, that’s an old argument im a man & i cry at times like all normal humans but eventually you have to stop the tears and pick yourself up because no one’s coming to save you everytime. i understand that he’s still a child but he has to learn that this behavior isn’t acceptable and will only cause him more pain in his future.

u/Tentacled-Tadpole Jul 29 '24

He's not at the age where this will teach him any life lessons...

1

u/me34343 Jul 29 '24

The parents shouldn't run up there and take him down, but the teacher or parent going up there are dancing with him for a bit might help. Just to get him going.

Though, if they are leaving him like this I am leaning to the belief he does this often and they are letting him know crying will not solve his problems.

u/EditzTingz Jul 29 '24

This is how you mess up a kid's attachment style. 0 parenting skills.

1

u/Death_Snek Jul 29 '24

I agree with you with not being overprotective with children. But I think that these kind of style of teaching must be done with caution. For example, maybe if you know that the child doesn’t like or is afraid of stages. Maybe you could find a way for him to fit there without being that closer to the crowd.

People here are talking as if they are the supreme rulers of how a mind work. But hey, there are children that will see this as a experience and push themselves harder to overcome this. It’s not impossible. A good father and mother should have a conversation and explain that what happened is ok, but he needs to learn from this.

I was a very timid child in a outward and expressive country and people and culture. I’m from Brazil. I had to overcome things and yeah, from an early age and my parents never did take me away from those challenges, but they were always with me whenever I failed or I succeeded. Showing support!

In the end, I overcame this and now I can talk in public no problem.

u/No-Confusion-2589 Jul 29 '24

Why not ,if mummy helps him in mid it will boost his confidence rather then crying . Child can get trama .

u/Sp1ormf Jul 29 '24

You should look up attachment

Well it's reddit, so you can do a deep analysis of someone's pysche by a seconds-long out of context video of them even tho you have no formal training and are probably still in college

Probably still freeloading off his parents, and taking naps every afternoon.

u/TurbulentFee7995 Jul 29 '24

What life lesson is he learning by having this episode broadcast to millions on the internet and picked apart by vultures like you? There is only one lesson he will learn. Don't fail or you will be ridiculed. And the end result of that lesson will be "Don't Try, Won't Fail" just to avoid the peeking eyes of creepy idiots on the other side of the planet.

u/bennitori Jul 29 '24

It's not solving his problems once everyone swarms him asking what's wrong and why he didn't do the dance. He has now learned that crying may solve immediate problems. But it creates a ton more afterwards. Which is why the only time you cry is in the bathroom or when you're alone. Or you get your crying done before hand and just power through it once the tears have been cleaned up.
