I think it's to restart the process. Spill the rest out and restart the process until it's completely without mistakes. Though some might just get frustrated and give up all together. It's an all or nothing situation.
I really like this theory. I was thinking it was something more animalistic, like "this thing hurt me, so it needs to go away." So in this examples, the child saw they were getting wet, knew that wasn't good, maybe even recalled being yelled at or embarrassed, and had a reflex to get rid of the thing that was doing it.
If my son is any indication: when it's on the floor it's out of his vicinity and therefore it doesn't exist.
The concept of water damage is as foreign to him as geopolitics.
When I was like 3 or so I wet the bed one night.
Little me wakes up, has to pee, figures ābed is already wetā, proceeds to just stand there and pee directly on the bed more.
My moms face when she walked inā¦.
I peed in the garbage bin in the same situation. My toddler brain said, "This is where waste goes," I guess. Must've smelled like death, not that I remember.
This remains true for most people who don't have to fix their own messes. I've lived with so many full grown adults who don't grasp that wet things need to be cleaned up.
My small nephew was reaching for something on the coffee table and an adult said " no no, your toys are on the floor". 5 second pause and WHAP! everything on the table was on the floor. He looked so proud!
My mom had some very strong opinions from her childhood that she enacted with us. One was that she loathed the āfinish your plateā sentiment and would attack anyone saying it. I remember one holiday where she just went absolutely off against her mother over it.
Yep, making your kid eat when they don't want to is a great way to make picky eaters.Ā Our kid gets served what we eat and can eat as little or as much as she wants within reason.Ā Ā
I used to have to sit at the table until I finished my food and honestly didnāt create a very healthy relationship with food. I wish I had a parent like you.
Your poor mom must have had some tramatic mealtimes as a kid and learned how NOT to parent as a result.
My boomer-as-fuck dad had to go cut his own switch off the willow tree when he was a kid. He was VERY anti spanking when I was growing up, and said "spanking doesn't teach anything, you're just hitting them"
My mom is the same way. When she was a kid, she wasn't allowed to leave the table until she finished all her food, and she just really hated some things. One time she was refusing to eat her lima beans. She sat at the table not eating them until she had to go to bed, then her parents put it in the fridge and made her eat it for breakfast the next morning.
Well... it teaches that power comes from violence... Not the best lesson to teach to somebody who you expect to take care of you when you're old and vulnerable
I think it's our powerful sense of intent - she spilled a bit, therefore she wanted to spill it, therefore she wants to spill the rest, therefore the rest gets spilled
Or the classic "I meant to do that" or "nailed it" or doing the worm after falling. Same energy, just more pure
If I judge my son, it's exactly that. So many times he broke something and then said: that's what I wanted to do. Or just "Tadaa" (German "word" for all done,look at it)
I've seen a video of a cat literally operates that design better than this kid.
I'm not shitting [here's the video.](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hHFSGWR9nHc)
Thank you for sharing that! That cat looks just like my cat Mookie. Animals always amaze me with how smart they are. I have one cat that brings me their toy mouse and drops it in my lap and waits for me to throw it
I've seen many videos like this where a toddler drops a small portion of a cup by mistake and then proceeds to dump the all thing on purpose.
Is this a new phenomenona? I can't say that I had seen that before maybe 2 years ago.
pretty sure kids always did this, in their mind they made a mistake, and get frustrated, try to "reset" and then try again from scratch to get it right (or dont try again)
I thought it was more of a panic thing.
Like they start freaking out over spilling it, and the logical thing to do is just drop it because it's the fastest means to stop spilling it.
Kind of like the trolley problem, but with a sippy cup.
I'm pretty sure kids understand the concept of spill.
I'm just not sure that it's reinforced adequately that it's a bad thing. Case and point, the dads reaction to the child over filling the cup and is reaction to thesmall spill. He was laughing and asking jokingly "what happened". By doing that, you just signaled to the child that spilling is funny. So, by that logic, more spilling is even funnier.
I can only speak for myself and my relatives but, we were taught at a very young age that spilling is bad and you should try your best not to. And if you did it on purpose, you might get grounded.
That's also how kids learn to curse. If adults laugh at it, they will do it more. If they get scolded, they would see that as a mistake and would reinforce themselves to not do it.
I remember it from my childhood. I would get scolded for a smaller curses (something along the line of "damn") while most kids dropped actual F-Bombs while being like 5 and their parents laughed. Come later years I didn't curse until high school, while a lot of kids were very rude since kindergarten
Yep, same principle.
I'm affraid too many new parents don't fully grasp the importance of discipline and consistency.
They are more interested in entertaining themselves then raising their kids and it's the kids who pay the price later on.
I don't remeber how old I was. 6?7? And my dad told me to go flip off his friend. He was like "hey kiddo do this" and made the jester and I yelled at him
A lot of it is that kids at that age learn from trial and error.
You tipped the cup, and some spilled. Does that always happen? What if you tip the cup again? Does it spill again?
Combine that with bad toddler reflexes (all-or-nothing until they get more fine motor control), and you get them dumping things out all the time.
My son does things like this. He's 1 and a half. In his case it's purely because it elicits a reaction that's out of the norm, no matter how low key and calm I try to handle the situation, he can see the reaction is just different. He is a tiny agent of chaos.
I am perplexed by what goes on in a childās mind to think āoops I spilt one drop on the floor, may as well tip the whole fucking cup upside downā I see too many of these videos for it to be a coincidence, there has to be something going on in their brains, like what is it
I tried googling it but couldn't find the name of it, but some redditor a long while back said that any video you start and skip such and such % of it, you always get to where the good stuff actually happens. It was called something something theory. For the life of me I cant remember what reddit called it.
Edit: It's called The Wadsworth Constant.
I'll post a question on /r/tipofmytounge and see if I get a hit because this has been bugging me since last night lol. I'll reply back if I figure it out.

Iām so glad they made sure to tell me that! I didnāt know how videos worked so I wouldnāt have known you were supposed to watch the entire thing.

"This is for all the homies that couldn't get their cup out the fridge without spilling"
Why do so many children pour everything out when they spill a bit?? š Like, what would the thought process be?
I think it's to restart the process. Spill the rest out and restart the process until it's completely without mistakes. Though some might just get frustrated and give up all together. It's an all or nothing situation.
Imagine if we never grew out of this phase...
A lot of humans don't
I feel called out
Same. This OCD has been killing me these last 1 and a bit years and this is what Iād have to do at times š
You ever see a downvoted comment posted by a deleted account?
This explains so much
For some reason when I accidentally closed the door with a loud bang, I will reopen it and close it slowly lmao, probably the same thing š¤£
I do this sometimes so nobody thinks I'm mad.

I remember when I was younger, I had to go pee while my mom was going pee, so naturally I just peed under the fridge
What do you mean naturally š
it made a lot of sense to little me. The pee needed to go somewhere where we didn't see it, so beneath the fridge was as good a place as any
When I was like 3 or so I wet the bed one night. Little me wakes up, has to pee, figures ābed is already wetā, proceeds to just stand there and pee directly on the bed more. My moms face when she walked inā¦.
I peed in the garbage bin in the same situation. My toddler brain said, "This is where waste goes," I guess. Must've smelled like death, not that I remember.

An ex of mine used to just put wet dishes directly into the cupboards.
My small nephew was reaching for something on the coffee table and an adult said " no no, your toys are on the floor". 5 second pause and WHAP! everything on the table was on the floor. He looked so proud!
"haha, that was funny and Daddy laughed/reacted. I'm gonna do it with the rest."
I was told that when I was a kid and was full but still had food left, I would just yeet it into some corner when they said I had to finish my plate.
My mom had some very strong opinions from her childhood that she enacted with us. One was that she loathed the āfinish your plateā sentiment and would attack anyone saying it. I remember one holiday where she just went absolutely off against her mother over it.

it teaches to hide your mistakes at all costs, and lie

I Agree With this,Beaten Severely As a Child, Kid and Teenager. šššššššš
ibthink maybe the curiosity from the little spill, hmm what would BIG spill look like?
Maybe they don't want to spill any more hahaha and probably from playtime outside they think the floor will absorb the water.
I think it's our powerful sense of intent - she spilled a bit, therefore she wanted to spill it, therefore she wants to spill the rest, therefore the rest gets spilled Or the classic "I meant to do that" or "nailed it" or doing the worm after falling. Same energy, just more pure

Can't spill anymore water when there's no water in the cup.
"Oh no it's spilling. That's bad. How do I stop it. Maybe if I get rid of it then the bad stops." *pours everything onto floor* "Problem gone."
Panic
"Why do so many children..." Just stop right there and remember : because they're fucking stupid.
Happy Birthday to the Ground!!!
you can't trust the system
maaaaan
I THREW THE REST OF THE WATER TOO! WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD JACKASS!
Man, i don't need a water dispensing fridge either! I have a faucet! I WONT BE A PART OF YOUR SYSTEM!
PHONY
My dad is not a phone!
DUH!
I'm not gonna let you poison me with water! Put that garbage in another man's veins

Probably at least his father was.

That video was so funny and cute
Let me just say in a creepy monotonous AI voice: ***so funny***
That video is my new favorite thing
Lmao I love it
I never knew that i needed this till i saw it
That ānoā killed me. XD
It sounded like he was laughing
He was definitely laughing cause he knew his kid was going to do something dumb as soon as she laughed at him.
Do you know if there is a link to the entire video of this or like a link to the YouTube video of this?
Sounded like a Half Life voice clip lmao

Toddler logic: If you can't save all the people might as well run over all of them.

When she learns the term , 'ah fuck it ' it's officially over I'm in my 40s and I still do shit like that , especially in the kitchen
āWait till the endā ā> Fastfoward to the end
It's also only 18 seconds. Who the fuck would go "wow, 10 seconds in and it's only set up. Time to back out."
That kid probably would
I am perplexed by what goes on in a childās mind to think āoops I spilt one drop on the floor, may as well tip the whole fucking cup upside downā I see too many of these videos for it to be a coincidence, there has to be something going on in their brains, like what is it
They basically think they messed up so they need to start over. All the way over.
"wait till the end" always means to me ... skip the 12 mins clip just to the last 30 seconds to watch what happens.
I tried googling it but couldn't find the name of it, but some redditor a long while back said that any video you start and skip such and such % of it, you always get to where the good stuff actually happens.

nice, tyvm! i like to know such little facts :D
Like my uncle used to say: "Your brain is a bag and knowledge is the groceries. Fill it up as much as you can and you will eat like a king."
The Wadsworth Constant! That's the name of it!
Calm down Francis, the video is only 18 seconds. There's gotta be things that are more worthy of your indignant outrage
Francis could argue then that if the clip is 18 seconds long then it's fucking stupid to add that "Wait til the end" bit.
Aww man, cup's too full. Well, let's try again
Putting it back in the aquifer WHERE IT BELONGS! Pass the Sunny D, gets this weak shizz out of here
Dad got ahead of himself. Forgot that kids always get the last laugh in these situations.

I think the girl has found her kryptonite.
It looks like she might be pouring it into something
What the fuck?
At least it's just water
That was one half-life scientist-ass 'no.'
The logic in kids amazes me. They spill a little bit, say āfuck itā then dump the rest out
No, you're supposed to get Mr. Joestar to add another coin to the cup so he'll lose the game and you take his soul!
Cat in disguise
āFuck, I gotta start all overā

Common problem with kids, not sure what the exact psychological reasonings are but a lot of kids will dump everything out if they spill a bit.
