Trader Joe's Staff Dance To Calm Down Crying Toddler
A heartwarming moment was captured on camera when staff members at a Florida Trader Joe’s store helped a mom calm a crying toddler.
All parents know that shopping with children can be a challenge. Between juggling their needs and your shopping list, everyone breathes a sigh of relief once they finally reach the checkout.
But just as Alexandra Seba thought her grocery trip was over, the terrifying toddler meltdown occurred. We’ve all experienced or witnessed at least one of these breakdowns before.
While this is a normal part of childhood, it always puts stress on the parent, especially when they’re out in public. That’s why the sweet reaction from these Trader Joe’s employees is going viral.
Mom Alexandra told Motherly, "My baby Julian was having a tantrum because he wanted to push the big kid shopping cart. Tori (Trader Joe's employee) started singing and a couple other workers chimed in to calm down Julian. Moms NEED to shop somewhere where the staff is kind to their kids and engages them, from giving them animal crackers to helping moms when their baby throws a full blown tantrum."
This video clip shows the workers surrounding Julian while they sing and dance. The baby is so entranced by the energetic employees that he immediately stops crying.
As parents and grandparents, we can all appreciate the kindness and empathy displayed by these Trader Joe’s employees. It just goes to show that you never know how your simple actions can greatly effect someone else’s day.
