The images track many different scenarios, seen in the boy's sad face while taking a bath or at the dinner table. Pembroke initially started his project via [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-center) and Tumblr. He soon after attracted a great deal of attention, prompting him to further document the moods of his son Charlie and on occasion, his older son William. Paired with the pictures are [humorous descriptions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petit-filous-mischief-makes-us) as the phrases read "We suggested that he play with a train" and "He threw his dinner plate on the ground. He now wants to eat dinner." In some cases however, the reasons for his tears are unknown. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Babies](https://www.trendhunter.com/babies) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Whimsical Child Photography:** Opportunities to market creative photo shoots of children that capture their moods and personalities. - **Parenting Humor:** The potential for humorous and relatable content that speaks to the challenges of parenting. - **Online Parenting Communities:** The demand for digital platforms that allow parents to share their experiences, tips and stories. ### Where This Applies - **Photography:** Creative opportunities for photographers, artists and designers looking to capitalize on this trend. - **Online Media:** The opportunity to create and share parenting content with an online audience to increase engagement. - **Parenting Tools and Resources:** The potential for parenting coaches and consultants to provide specialized advice to parents in navigating everyday challenges related to raising children. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cheeky Parenting Prostration Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horizontal-parenting.md) - [Emotional Teaching Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/icalm-tantrum-resolution-game.md) - [Childhood Memory Capturing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dear-little-one.md) - [Emotional Exploration Plushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emotional-baggage-by-solobo-toys.md) - [Playful Thermal Printer Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/childrens-print-camera.md) - [Child-Friendly Camera Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camera-for-kids.md) - [Kid-Friendly Emotion Management Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/angry-kid.md) - [Honest Mealtime Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guaranteed-to-be-eaten-by-kids.md) - [Limited Humorous Art Prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-shrigley-1.md)
