But in the series, it was clear MaKenzie wasn't always on board with her mum's style choices. In one infamous clip, MaKenzie's mum is attempting to get her costume changed for competition day and is trying to put a belt around her waist. But MaKenzie was having none of it, saying: 'Oh no, I can't do that. I'm not doing that. I'm sorry.' When her mum is heard trying to negotiate with her, she says, 'Oh my gosh. Leave me alone, people.' In other clips from the TLC show, MaKenzie can be seen being treated to a pedicure with some apple juice in a champagne glass. Despite the show being filmed over ten years ago, MaKenzie's toddler tantrums are still remembered and she recently took to TikTok to share her thoughts on the matter. Using the audio from her outfit tantrum, she wrote over the clip: 'My exact reaction to waking up this morning to be tagged one million and one times in a comment section where everyone is talking about how bad a child I was. "God forbid a girl have an opinion on what she wears at a young age.' Now, the 20-year-old has seemingly ditched the glamorous life of pageantry and is now a student at Louisiana Christian University and plays on the softball team. Outrage Over Mum's Decision to Gift Smartphone to Toddler The video posted to her TikTok account @makenziebellemyers has since gone viral with over 4 million views and 338k likes. People in the comments were quick to share their thoughts, with many saying MaKenzie wasn't to blame. One person wrote: "I fear you actually communicated your feelings very well before the meltdown but no one listened to you." Another commented: "You really were an absolute menace and I love it." "God forbid a toddler act like a toddler," penned a third. Tips for Dealing with Toddlers IF you're struggling to control your toddler, here's ten tips that you need to know... Stay Calm and Patient Take deep breaths and maintain a calm demeanor. Patience is key; toddlers are still learning to navigate their emotions and behaviors. Set Clear Boundaries Establish consistent rules and explain them in simple terms. Be firm but gentle in enforcing boundaries. Offer Choices Give your toddler options to foster independence. For example, let them choose between two outfits or snacks. Use Positive Reinforcement Praise good behavior and offer small rewards. Acknowledge their efforts and achievements to encourage repetition of positive actions. Create a Routine Structure and predictability help toddlers feel secure. Maintain regular meal times, nap times, and bedtime routines. Stay Engaged Spend quality time interacting with your toddler. Read, play, and explore activities together to strengthen your bond. Be a Role Model Demonstrate the behavior you expect from your toddler. Use polite language, share, and show empathy in your interactions. Encourage Communication Help your toddler express their feelings with words. Teach them simple phrases to communicate needs and emotions. Redirect Attention When faced with undesirable behavior, distract and redirect their focus. Introduce a new activity or toy to shift attention away from the issue. Ensure Safety Child-proof your home to prevent accidents. Supervise your toddler closely to keep them safe while exploring. Meanwhile a fourth said: "Your episodes were my favorite on Toddlers and Tiaras." "My girl, you were EVERYTHING. I still quote 'we're going to diva day!!!!!' CONSTANTLY,' claimed a fifth Someone else added: "YOU were not the issue with Toddlers and Tiaras."
