On her 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.

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.”
