Tiktok's Cookie Challenge Tests Kids and Their Parents
Briefly

Alissa Torrez, inspired by a TikTok trend, engaged her 3-year-old son, Oliver, in the cookie challenge, which tests children's sharing abilities. The challenge involves revealing presents hidden under plates—two cookies for the child, one for one parent, and none for the other. In a heartwarming moment, Oliver immediately recognized there was no cookie for his mom and willingly shared his second cookie, showcasing his empathetic nature. The video of their interaction has gone viral, emphasizing the charm and goodwill of such simple family activities.
I was thinking to myself Oh, I have to do this with Oliver because he's such an empathetic little kid.
On the count of three, each person reveals what's on their plate. One parent has a single cookie, the child has two and the other parent has nothing.
Oliver gasped once he realized there was no M&M cookie under his mother's paper towel and immediately came to the rescue.
