    I am a mom, but used to sometimes carry my oldest by her feet, in one hand, squirming like a fish, when she had a fit somewhere out in the world when she was toddler age. The change of perspective seemed to help. That kid also ended up being an acrobat.

    My brother always held babies so awkwardly, even his own, it was funny.

      I’m a full-grown adult and hanging upside down & doing flips absolutely is my antidepressant & mood regulator!

      My two year old finds being held up by the feet funny so this will sometimes literally end a tantrum with laughter.
