Sure, but the FAs' reaction to a kid acting up is one of the keys to how good the airline is with kids.

Do they...

-- ask if the kid is hungry/thirsty and offer a snack/drink?
-- offer some distraction (e.g., "wings")?
-- genuinely try to help?

...or do they...

-- give you disapproving looks?
-- offer unsolicited parenting advice?
-- seem indifferent to your very stressful situation?

We've taken our kids (now 7 and 4) on several airlines, but I can't see any pattern with this. Some FA were great, others not. Fortunately, our kids have rarely disturbed others.
