A Cuban father residing in the United States has recently gone viral on TikTok after sharing a video where he trains his baby to avoid becoming a "fragile child."
The video, uploaded by user @el_new.com, showcases the young child walking barefoot along a sidewalk in the Homestead neighborhood. The father, originally from Santos Suárez in Havana, encourages his baby with a mix of humor and pride.
"That's what I like to see. You might be a Homestead citizen, but your dad grew up running barefoot on the streets of Santos Suárez. Let's go, I don't want any fragile kids or anxiety over problems," the father is heard saying, laughingly.
His words, part jest and part lesson, highlight a straightforward approach to parenting and resilience in the face of life's challenges.
The video has sparked laughter and praise from thousands of viewers online, who appreciate the father's wit, authenticity, and distinctly Cuban style.
Many commenters have described it as a "Cuban-style life lesson," at a time when they believe there are "too many fragile children and a shortage of strong-willed parents."
The post has already surpassed 400,000 views and continues to attract positive feedback on social media.
