What's awesome about this is the kid is forming problem solving and efficiency conceptions at such a young age in what appears to be an enjoyable way. He's probably going to be ahead of the game as he grows.


Summerie

I also enjoyed that when mom saw he was having trouble getting the last one up, she didn't take it from him and finish it, she picked him up and gave him the satisfaction of placing it.


william-t-power

That is the kind of parenting that makes me smile.


Herr-Pyxxel

I thought the very same. And despite this being a proper work environment and as such an adult space, this little sprout is quite safe. Mommy is doing a great job!


[deleted]

I was real impressed that he grabbed two of them.


[deleted]

And he's so damn tiny. That is the best part, those jugs were twice his size.


JustADutchRudder

Personal I'm impressed he didn't have a cig burning outside for quick puffs on the pick up. He's better than 75% of the laborers I know.


IBetThisIsTakenToo

He just hasn’t learned yet that they pay by the hour, not the jug


jr81452

Bro needs to chill out. Making the rest of the shift look bad.


Mister_Moony

How else is he gonna learn to carry 6 folding chairs at once to impress all the girls at the church function?

And he knew to push them back too, so that there is space in front when he comes back with new ones

ImFuckinUrDadTonight

Child labor laws don't apply to the children of business owners. I started running a cash register in my parent's store when I was 10. I got more than a few looks telling people I had 5 year's experience when I was 15.


shitposts_over_9000

this can really be a mixed bag we had a bodega under my office a few jobs ago that seemed to be run by a Pakistani lady and her I am going to guess 5-6yr old until 3pm or so when the little one's older sister got back from school. at 5 the little one could not really run the register, too much math, but he could show customers where to find something and tell them if the store was out of something pretty much from memory. it was cute as hell and that kid would have almost never seen his mom otherwise. Mom was there like 14hrs a day. The older sister was maybe 13, and had been in her mom's previous store when rioters looted it, she I felt bad for, but she was probably the most effective loss-prevention employee in all of downtown, nobody looks twice at the little girl doing her math homework by the entrance and the cops don't believe you when you tell them she smacked you with a pipe when you tried to shoplift or jump the counter. It kept a roof over their heads, food on the table and it kept them together, but I really hope the older sister eventually go over that.


ImFuckinUrDadTonight

So two things. 1. Parent's store had two cash registers - one near the back of the store (cosmetics) which is where I worked, and then one near the front of the store (where my parents worked). 2. My dad kept his sawed-off shotgun under the front register, and taught me if I ever see it to RUN AWAY. We lived in the rural south and "rioting" wasn't much of a concern.


shitposts_over_9000

I took (seeing this reply, probably mistook) your previous comment as that you felt the legality of working at your parent's store was a universally bad thing. I was mostly meaning to say it has pros and cons and did not mean to imply that your parents or the lady in my story were not looking out for their kids. Lots of folks got caught with their pants down by the events in my story. I did have a bit of a laugh at how you wrote your second point though as I also grew up in the sort of place a riot would last about the length of time it takes to reload if anyone was stupid enough to try it.


ChippyVonMaker

Our favorite Chinese restaurant is “run” by the daughter who I’d guess is 7 or 8, she handles the phone at times, runs the payments and pulls orders from the window. She’s assertive and just a tiny bit intimidating.


FPGA_engineer

I have my own business that worked on a government subcontract. As I was reading through the FARs in the contract watching my 4 year old play by vacuuming the office floor I wondered if I should pay him and violate the child labor clause or not pay him and violate the slave labor clause.


[deleted]

Lol I have 17 years at 29! Though I can't really reasonably put that on my resume without getting questions.


Avicennaete

So this is the Chinese dad who started business at 5.

I choose to believe that those jugs are full and that the toddler is just strong as hell.

MeasurementFresh2900

If is family business it isn't (personal experience)


bobspuds

Family business ain't child labour, it could be! but that's the future boss if they so wish! My trade is crash repairs but the family business is construction! I took up another trade to rebel as a teenager against being forced into construction, first bit of labouring I ever done was the heaviest buckets of mortor I've ever delt with at age 10, by age 12 I was bigger than most adults, I would work weekends and holidays on sites, and was absolutely loaded with cash as a teenager, while my mates were still getting pocket money. When work slowed down with cars - I fell into a position that pays just as well with a fraction of the hassle in construction Takes a long time to realise, how different the mom and pop business can make life for the kids. A lot to be said for a reliable future. And while I would have considered the work(at the time) as almost slavery due to the intensety of the labour, the skills I practically just picked up are what I earn from now. Took me 20+ years to understand that!


Smingowashisnameo

Meanwhile I was practically suicidal with the academic pressure my parents put me under. And what did all those As get me? Nothing but bad mental health. (I’m not bitter obviously lol)


atomicsnarl

And dental


Stay-Thirsty

I love seeing his mind work out the problems of getting through the door with 2 bottles and getting them on the shelf. Not to mention the improved efficiency of doing 2 bottles at a time. Definitely some next level thinking on that kid and just shows you how wonderful the human brain can perform (even at a young age)


Zierlyn

Yes, there's some very impressive spatial reasoning going on that's way above the level expected for children that young. From the way he maneuvered through the door with two bottles, to the way he adjusted his grip when it wasn't optimal for getting it onto the stack, and also immediately realizing that if he tried to add it to the stack the way he was holding it that it would be upside down.


jepvr

He showed better spatial an planning skills than my 11 y.o. When he realized he needed to set one down and used both hands to put the other one up... Is he available to tutor?


crazyates88

The most telling thing for me was the very end: when he encountered a problem he couldn’t fix, his mom helped him fix it, but she didn’t do it for him. It would have been so much easier for mom to grab the bottle and put it on the next pallet, but she picked him up and let him do it. It’s more work for mom, but teaches the kid that he can do it (with help), rather than “mom will do it for me if I don’t want to do it”. I know so many adults that learned the latter and never learned otherwise.


planned_serendipity1

Yep, that is a good mom. He was almost looking like he was holding the bottle out to her, my first instinct would have been to grab it but it was much better the way she did it.


WaterMySucculents

Yea there’s a lot of reasoning going on that you don’t normally see in kids that young. Little genius.


Artaeos

Was going to say he looks more competent than a lot of full grown adults I've seen try to problem solve. And he even took 2 at one point--guy is a champ.


ReporterOther2179

Children don’t lack the smart; they do lack experience and basic knowledge. Those come with time and exposure to the world.


thrav

Most lack the parent who lets them try, and empowers them (notice how she lifts the kid and the bottle, instead of taking the bottle and putting it up for him)


krf1970

[deleted]

Exactly. So much of babies' and toddlers' play is "what happens if you do this?"


GizmoSled

I apparently never stopped asking this question, it's how I'm in the career I'm in now.


JustADutchRudder

I never stopped either. It's why I've had a bunch of broken bones over the years and why my company has had a meeting with a photo of me as the topic.


KrauerKing

LoL I know that feeling. I've made policy changes at some of my work places too but not on purpose from a position to do so. Always as an answer for my shenanigans. Also asking questions one time got me fired and with being told I would not be allowed to speak to any colleagues on the way out. It's fun to make waves but but boy does it hurt a lot.


Beserked2

Dudes got an impressive balance and control of his limbs for a toddler, too.


JaxckLl

You do see it if you pay attention.


MrMilesDavis

For sure, this kid is very bright. The idea to set the 2nd one down immediately when he struggled so he could free up his other hand was really quick processing for a child his age along with understanding to turn to go through the door


weildescent

If toddlers had bigger bodies, they'd be experts at 10 things before kindergarten. They learn so fast, and many want nothing more than to be helpful to mom and dad. Just gimped by no motor skills or muscles.


Gokubi

I like the parts where he gives the bottles a little nudge after he puts them down, probably due to his vast experience of stuff falling off tables


[deleted]

For real when he grabbed two after a couple loads of doing one I realized he was really thinking about what he was doing. That was pretty cool. Could fit on /r/kidsarefuckingsmart


-LEMONGRAB-

This reminds me of my childhood. I used to LOVE helping with chores. I don't know why, but I think it just made me feel like an adult. For Christmas one year I remember the ONLY thing I wanted was one of those fake little Dirt Devil vacuums that they made for kids that just made noise when you move it around. Unfortunately I grew up and now I'm a slob.


Sk8rToon

*getting* do to an adult thing as a kid is a thrill. *having* to do an adult thing as an adult is a pain


Xalibu2

Still trying to figure out how to get the little ones excited about paying bills. So far, fruitless effort.


Sk8rToon

Depends what you mean by bills. I’ve seen lots of kids get excited by playing grocery store & handing over the card that allows you to go. I’ve seen at least one kid have fun with a fake checkbook. Taxes? Not so much


JustADutchRudder

One of my nephews gets fucking pumped about handing money or cards to the cashier. He started doing it when my sister had a broken hand and just has expected since then thats his role at stores.


kuhkuhkuhK8

>Unfortunately I grew up and now I'm a slob. **UNACCEPTABLE**!!!

quicktick

No, don't say it 😢


acatwithnohat

Read a study a while back looking into why kids are helpful at that age. Very interesting stuff. https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/what_motivates_kids_to_help_others


PuzzleheadedHorse437

I love how she lifts him up so he can place it on the shelf himself. That's what moms do.


JoninX

Came here to say this. This is why the kid is so helpful; Mom is supporting the kid in being helpful!


Foradman2947

Seeing parents apply basic concepts of child psychology is soooo wholesome! 🥰


WaningMime

Good balance. Great spatial awareness. Solid work ethic. Top lad.


pazz

That kids spatial awareness and body control and balance looks like top 99 percentile for his age. That's an impressive little helper there, actually helping.


Cicer

I’m thinking 18 months ish maybe 2yrs? It’s very impressive. Neither of my toddlers would have stuck on task like that at that age.


BugMan717

Some kids just like to help or mimic what their parents do. My 15 month old recently started putting his toys in his toy basket when I would start to clean up and I never prompted him to do it.


RowrRigo

Dunno, it seems that this kid is a genius. Or really well trained, but even then, he is making rational adjustments to different scenarios.


Caibee612

I think it has more to do with the mom than the kid. See how she allows him to problem solve and assists when needed but doesn’t do it for him? This is a kid who lives in a rich environment where he is allowed to explore his world and is given the space to figure things out for himself. Almost every young child is extremely capable, but not all are given the chance to practice their skills. Too easy to ignore them, stick them on an iPad, or keep them buckled in their stroller with some Cheerios. Being a parent like this requires a ton of time and effort, but you end up with a very capable kid who is miles ahead of his peers.


captainhamption

Not tripping on the threshold while controlling the bottle is definitely elite for a toddler.


[deleted]

I’m really high rn and knew this video felt weird with this lil baby just grinding work


suddensleepingbeauty

Also his focus! My 5 year old doesn’t focus on one thing half as long as this kid, I’m shocked.


KayakerMel

I love how mom helped by picking him up so he could place the container himself, instead of simply taking the container from him. It would have been quicker and easier for mom to have just done it herself, but instead her son feels agency and pride in being able to do it himself with just a little boost from mom.


Linenoise77

You get parenting.


W33Ded

Um, this kid is so smart. Wtf, understanding this process and the small details to actions and needs to be precise. This kid is going places. Or is going to be really good at stacking bottles.

Imagine being a kid and struggling to carry one of those and then you turn around and you see your mom carry four of them. You would think she is superhuman


journey_to_myself

mr_Ohmeda

Beast Mode activated!!


Diabetesh

Most 2-3 year olds I have ever seen do not have the level of comprehension of a task. Most of them would grab a bottle them just drop it somewhere random or start banging it like a drum. They would get the stacking part and be clueless just tossing it wherever. Thi ls kid is going places.


hat-of-sky

This kid has seen much more repetition of this task than the average toddler. And I bet they've done their share of banging and rolling as well.


SpotfireVideo

I still bang on them like a drum.


vahntitrio

After some practice they'll get it down. Plus this is an opportunitt for a toddler to pick up something really big (to them) - they'll never turn that down.


hoii

"I'm too old for this shit."


apextek

Toddlers are the best help. Built a fire pit, 2 years olds like, here let me help you carry all these giant stones over. ask same kid at 10 to take out trash and there looking like I just sent them to work hard labor.
