Any parent knows the sometimes challenging task of shopping with a small child. Sometimes children can get cranky when dragged to run mundane errands so keeping them entertained and busy is a parent's best bet to avoiding any embarrassing tantrums.

In the video below, however, you'll see a mom get some help from a Target employee who decided to entertain her daughter in an adorable way while she shopped.

Stefanie is a young mother who recently took her daughter Evallyn shopping with her at Target. While they were there, Stefanie decided to buy some toys for her little girl. Though Evallyn enjoyed playing with the dolls for a little while, she started to get restless the longer the shopping trip took. Before long, Stefanie was rushing to finish her shopping in the hopes that she could finish before Evallyn threw a tantrum.

Warning: Account balances and purchasing power no longer tell the same story. Know in 2 minutes if your retirement is working for you.

Just when Stefanie started to panic, she got help from a very unexpected person. This person was a Target employee named A.J., who got Evallyn's attention and challenged her to a dance off. A.J. praised Evallyn and gave her compliments as other customers shopped around them.

A.J. soon asked Evallyn if she wanted to go again for another round of dancing, and the little girl replied with an emphatic dance. Stefanie just had to pull out her phone to record their adorable dance off!
