I’m sure we all know how well behaved our children are while in their glory, I suppose probably one of the best places to see this attraction, would have to be in the checkout isle. If you haven’t seen one of these performances I’m a bit surprised.
Children seem to know exactly when the best time for a show is and where to perform them. This show usually starts something like this.
“Mum, can I have one of those.” And after being told “No.” “But why not, you always buy johnny things.” “Not today peter, I told you before we got here.” “I want one.” And so on.
Once the tempo speeds up, most of the people in the line are now looking at you with their heads shaking and their mouths flapping away. At this stage your temperature is starting to rise, not to mention your child’s tears rolling.
You can tell almost exactly what the people in the line are saying to each other. “Can’t you do something with that child.” “Why don’t you just buy the stupid thing.” “People like you shouldn’t be allowed in this shop.” And really, what are you supposed to do?.
You could try and see if anyone has lost a spoilt brat, or just say you’re only a long lost relative who has him for the day, then again, you could say you just found him, would you like him? Chances are, people will look at you like you need help.
The most likely thing that would happen is for him to forget all about the item five seconds after you both leave the store. The reality is that you cant exactly look them in the eye, and in your meanest voice tell them “You just better be quiet.”
You could always just turn around and go home but, not only do you miss all the fun of paying those bills and running the other errands. But you teach your child that if you’re out somewhere he doesn’t like, all he has to do is act up enough knowing full-well he will get to go home. You can bet that’s what the rest of the people in the line think.
I honestly think the best possible way to attack this situation is to tell the lovely young offender how it is going to be. After that, do absolutely nothing at all. Yep, sounds easy hay? Putting it into practice is a little more difficult.
No matter where the tantrum is to be thrown, this is the recommended solution. The less your child sees the tantrum affecting you, the less he is likely to have too many more attempts.
There are a few places you don’t particularly want your child to have a tantrum. Such as Church’s, at the Movies or a Fancy Restaurant. But the general public places are exactly that, PUBLIC places. Sure people don’t want to listen to any child having a tantrum but hay, it’s a public place.
For as long as children are born with their own personality, there is going to be tantrums while out in public.
People around you at the time would like you to do anything to shut your child up.
At this point you are already embarrassed because of your child’s behavior, so I would suggest calmly walk your attention seeking child to the car and remind him of the out in public behavior rules, then try again.
