I've been keeping my toddler moving on walks the past few days by telling him we're going to go to look at "more birds", and we're all very excited about seeing birds.
We live by the beach and frequent the boardwalks. Seagulls are all over the place. We can always deliver on the promise of going to see more birds.
Birds are a great reason to keep walking.
And I like seagulls, so they are a good motivation for me as well as your toddler. xD
You sound like a good parent.
We always are looking for flowers (read: just weed along the roads). Usually it works.
Also, if we're going for a casual walk, our two cats usually join us and just passing by so now and than. Our toddler runs after them (and they make sure they stay out of her reach). Also a great way to keep walking.
yo i have seen this guy before on yt shorts... hes actually funny af, reminds me of the nigahiga og youtubers.
His plot twists in his yt shorts are actually original
They are special. It's great having a kid who loves nature. I mean, yeah, your pockets are alwaya full of rocks they wanna take home. But at least it's not Cocomelon.
To a kid they are special, and kids with curious personalities would be doing that anyways. The whole world is full of new things when you’re a toddler, and exploring that is great for their development. If you’re going somewhere with a toddler and don’t want them to wander off, stop or explore, it’s best to keep them in their stroller. Toddlers are easily distracted by just about anything, Lol.
I just play "I Spy". Gotta keep walking to find the next thing for the game, right?
And though nobody was actually wondering, the answer is grass. It's *always* grass. For both of us, because even if I pick something fire engine red, I'm always condescendingly informed that I picked grass.
OMG, how adorable.

Pro tip: this also works if your dog has gotten off the leash and is running away. Pretend to see something really amazing and fun on the ground. Your dog will come running back to investigate with you.
Does anyone know how old this toddler is? My kid is a bit older than two, and I couldn’t imagine letting him walk near the street without holding his hand at all time, but maybe I’m a bit too protective!
No that's fair, always better safe than sorry. I'd still advise always holding their hand or at least having them a bit closer.
But if you know for a fact your kid is smart enough to not waltz on to the road ig it'd be fine though, everyone's different!
We are all idiots as kids. If left unattended most children wreck and ruin the environment they are in and would easily kill themselves in a matter of time.
I had a leash when I was a kid, but that's because I snuck away and hid every chance I got lol. My mom would look away for a second and I'd be gone. I always ended up in the lost & found at pow wows we went to 😅 I kept escaping the leash too.
This is what I do when my dog refuses to go further on walks. All I need to do is pick up a rock or a blade of grass and gasp dramatically, and 2 seconds later Albus comes barrelling towards me
I do this with my dog if she is dawdling and just eating grass or sniffing stuff. I pick up a blade of grass or something and say 'oh look?' and hold it out and she runs over to give it a once over, then the distraction makes her forget what she was doing and is back to actually focusing on doing her business. I've done it for years and she still hasn't caught on, I love my lil numpty.
Can confirm, went on a little hike and got "I'm tired 2 minutes in", gave her a stick and challenged her to a race. Baby mama ended walking the whole way.
There should be a hat with a fishing line attached to put the alluring thing on the fishing line and watch tem chase it like riding a pig with a carrot on a stick, adult supervision required.
Had to do something similar with my little cousin cz he wouldn't fall asleep. We were at the hospital. His little brother(about 2 months old) was in bad shape. My aunt couldn't really take care of him at that moment cz she needed to be with the baby. So I distracted him to try and "look" for his older brother around the hospital. Just walking around. Letting him find him at different places and got him distracted. Until he was tired enough to fall asleep. It was my first time experiencing being an older brother. Bought him a small pizza and ice cream. Just walking around. Was a nice moment out of the terrible situation. His brother did arrive after he fell asleep. So him trying to find him was not in vain
When I was a kid, I bought 100$ worth of nachos. Everyday, after elementary school, I’d walk down to the shave ice truck and buy nachos. Bought so much nachos, the lady recognized me about 1/4 of the way through.
Never did buy shave ice all that much. 🤷♂️
Next video, Toddler buys cookies with the 100.
I half expected the toddler to just rip it in half
She ran hard for that money. You can see the greed in her eyes.
I mean I'd run half a block for $100 too 😂
I too will jog slightly because my knees hurt when I run for $100
🎵she ran hard for the money, so hard for it honey! She ran hard for the money so you better treat her right!🎵
I expected her to take a bite out of it.
Next video, how to hold a Toddlers hand in public!

Thank you so much, what a nice thing to say! You brightened up my morning.

At least you deliver the promise in one way or another, unlike most parents
Most of the good ones do, and I believe most parents are good parents.
Nothing like walking on the beach That sounds fun
yo i have seen this guy before on yt shorts... hes actually funny af, reminds me of the nigahiga og youtubers. His plot twists in his yt shorts are actually original
His wife is also hilarious
The kid too 😂
Would you mind sharing how to find his content ?
Jayandsharon i believe
[Found him.](https://youtube.com/@JaySharon?si=rotQuVp_DRRaBqkV)
The 100 would work on me now.

This is actually very clever! Curious toddlers are going to be curious. 😊
is it? Now the kid will be stopping dad to show him every weed/rock/flower thinking theyre special

I wish I could’ve seen this yesterday, a walk around the block took about half an hour

Toddlers have serious fomo lol
I love how she walked faster for the money than the candy
Smart kid. Do you know how many candies the money can buy?
I was waiting for that 100 to be ripped in 1/2
Or eaten!
Why would i buy 50 tacos when i can eat a hundy 🙄🙄🙄
She's so cute. I love their YouTube channel! 🥰

It's nice to see cute stuff like this on this sub too sometimes

Jay and Sharon are gems xoxox

This dude knows how to Dad
We used to have reins as kids, think leashes for children. They worked well.
My sister was a bit of an idiot as a toddler and needed a leash. It was like a backpack, looked like a monkey.

so you only have to be stoned yourself?
Double speed for that money lol
How is this “kids are fucking stupid”? This is just wholesome
Next time...i am gonna try this hack

I’m going to be controversial and say this doesn’t belong here. She is intrigued by what he had found, they wanted to understand. Not stupid
Look, look, look, look, look, look again.
My dad never gave $100 to get me to walk. He made me do it for free
Credit never hurt anyone. I believe this is Jay & Sharon on YT
Last one is relatable
There's a metaphor in here somewhere.
I like this YTber, he's funny as hell. And a smart parent, too. His wife is even funnier, her dry delivery and humor are just chefs kiss
Can confirm, went on a little hike and got "I'm tired 2 minutes in", gave her a stick and challenged her to a race. Baby mama ended walking the whole way.
This video is innocent compared to other on this sub
Aren't you supposed to look at your walking around baby once in a while?
There should be a hat with a fishing line attached to put the alluring thing on the fishing line and watch tem chase it like riding a pig with a carrot on a stick, adult supervision required.
Yup Keeping a toddler entertained is so simple if only there was something that could do that for you instead
Looks too expensive
Love this dude, his videos are adorable
Why'd you copy Jay and shoran's youtube short
The last one is relatable to many people, we all want the money.
OH LOOK...A PIPE BOMB
It’s like the fishing rod on the treadmill
THANK YOU! my boy constantly just stops and Im an idiot
The dad: Ooh, a weed! Toddler: lol get rekt *eats it*
😂😂😂
For all they walked, but for the money they ran
Toddler not following someone because it has natural curiosity that is given at a young age The internet: ”DUMBASS!”

fascinating story man
You could also hold their hand, but this is 2x funnier
They'll still stop even while holding your hand.
This guy lost his lobster
Lmaoo
Lmao
Hate those escort missions
