A mother is urging parents not to let young children use mobile phones - as she asked her five-year-old to stop using hers and she threw a massive tantrum.
Destiny Nicole Maes took to TikTok after recording the epic reaction her daughter, Sienna, had when asked to stop using her phone.
In the clip, Sienna can be heard screaming, crying, and shouting at her mother - who remains calm and reminds the youngster that she has other items to play with, including a room full of toys.
Destiny went on to say that she gave Sienna her first phone when she was aged just one, and now others have praised the mum for correcting the mistake.

Destiny captioned the clip: "This is what happens when I made the mistake of giving her an electronic (device) around one-year-old.
"Now that we realise it's affecting her, (she's) not doing other activities besides being on the phone."
In the clip, Destiny can be heard reasoning with her daughter, saying: "There's a little girl out there that would kill for your room, Sienna.
"There's a little girl out in the world that doesn't have anything. And do you know what she would do if she had your room?
"She would play with all the toys. She wouldn't be worried about a phone at your age."

Soon, Destiny posted a follow-up video and explained that she was considering taking all electronic devices away from her daughter.
She said: "At this point, we're thinking of taking it away permanently because I don't know what to do. She's not understanding and I've tried explaining it to her."
