Tammin Sursok praised for parenting tip: 'Brought tears to the eyes'

Former Home and Away and Pretty Little Liars actress Tammin Sursok has been praised by fans after showing how she soothes her young children when they're having tantrums.

Uploading a video to her Instagram and TikTok accounts, Tammin's seen with her young daughter, Lennon, on her lap as they take big breaths together before cuddling.

"My four-year-old had a massive tantrum," Tammin wrote on the video.

"I felt embarrassed. Everyone was staring but instead of punishing and yelling at her, we sat down and breathed through our tough emotions to calm down our minds and body."

"I told her she wasn't bad or naughty, she was struggling to control these big feelings and that I was on her side," she continued. "Trying to break the cycle one breath at a time."
