Even renowned child education expert and TV show favorite, Ms Rachel, often affectionately dubbed the 'coparent' by many parents, admits to needing a little help with child entertainment at times. In a candid and 'embarrassing' confession that quickly went viral on TikTok, Ms Rachel revealed the method she resorted to during a recent flight with her children and husband, Mr Aaron.

Ms Rachel shared that during a three-and-a-half-hour plane ride, she and Mr Aaron attempted to keep their youngest daughter, Suzy, entertained with live performances. "I did the Ms Rachel live show for two hours. Daddy was amazing. He did the Mr. Aaron live show," she recounted. Despite their best efforts, their live shows proved ineffective in captivating their toddler's attention.

Grimacing good-naturedly, Ms Rachel disclosed her ultimate, albeit 'embarrassing,' solution: turning on her *own* show on an iPad. "Yeah, I had to put on my baby learning for my own baby on the plane," she admitted. To her surprise, and perhaps chagrin, her daughter Suzy preferred the recorded version. Ms Rachel even recalled a fellow passenger commenting on how "transfixed" her baby was by the show.

The honest revelation quickly resonated with parents across social media, where the clip on her TikTok account @msrachelforlittles garnered over 4.2 million views and 456k likes. Many parents expressed relief and validation, realizing that even the expert in child engagement sometimes relies on screen time, and in this case, her own content. Comments flooded in, with users writing, "When you become your own kid's third parent," "I feel so much better about myself," and "I’m so validated to know Ms Rachel is even the third parent in Ms Rachel’s own life." The overwhelming sentiment was a collective sigh of relief, affirming that the challenges of entertaining children are universal, even for Ms Rachel herself.
