A Cuban father based in the United States has gone viral on TikTok after posting a video where he trains his baby not to be a "glass child."
In the clip shared by the user @el_new.com, the little boy is seen walking barefoot on a sidewalk in the neighborhood of Homestead, while his father, originally from Santos Suárez (Havana), encourages him with humor and pride.
“I like seeing you like this. You may be very much a citizen of Homestead, but your father used to run barefoot along the sidewalk in Santos Suárez. Come on, I don’t want fragile children or for problems to make you anxious,” the man is heard saying amid laughter.
Her words, part joke and part lesson, reflect a practical philosophy about parenting and resilience in the face of challenges.
The video has sparked laughter and praise among thousands of internet users, who celebrate the ingenuity, authenticity, and Creole touch of the Cuban father.
Many users commented that this is a "life lesson the Cuban way," at a time when they claim there are "too many fragile children and too few strong-willed parents."
The post has already surpassed 400 thousand views and continues to generate positive comments on social media.
