I never had any problems with my daughter while in public, she would wait until we got home and then act up, throw a tantrum ect. I just sent her to ehr room, no radio or tv until she was done, if she did something really bad I would take something of hers away and she would get it back when she apologized.

I have six kids and every last one of them are very well behaved. From the time my kids were toddlers and tried to throw tantrums, I pop their little thighs. After two encounters of throwing themselves on the floor we did not have that problem any more. Parents need to be consistent with their discipline with their kids. Kids will try you to see how far they go, if you put an end to it quick they will not try it again. Every where we go, people always commend me on how well manner my kids are. My kids know if they act a fool anywhere with me, I do not mind acting one with them. I will tear their behinds up. Now I just give my kids the "look" and they automatic straighten up. Now my kids are now 13, 11, 11, 10, 9, and 8. And I have other parents come to me and ask can I give them advice on how to handle their unruly child. My advice to other parents: You can not be both parent and friend to your child, be a parent at all times. When they are grown and out of the house, you can be their friend also.

absolutely, we as parents must disipline our children, when they are unruly. I was in walmart and a child perhaps about four years old was in the shopping cart screaming because the mother would not buy her a toy, this child got on everyones  last nerve, you could hear her throughout the whole store. people were making comments, saying what they would do to that child, i was no exception. this child was horrible sounding. behold that mother rolled that cart my way, i watched this child scream at the top of her lungs not shedding a tear. my daughter whom was with me said, 'MOM DON'T DO IT. i didn't her. all i could hear was that child.  i walked up to that shopping cart and said,SHUTUP ALL THAT NOISE, RIGHT NOW. IMMEDIATETLY she was just as quiet as she could be. the mother moved her lips and said thank you . i guess she needed that and so did everyone else.  The biggest lie that was ever told is you should not spank your child. contrary to what these so called experts say, which probably don't have children, the Word Of God says, spare the rod,spoils the child. of course anything spoiled is rotten. I wonder if that is the problem with today's children, because i have seen some rotten chilren. Parents love your kids, don't call them names, don't hurt them, but spank their butts when they need it, and then they won't be whipping on you later.

Sometimes I made wise choices, other times I needed help in this department  but one thing is for sure: When dealing with anger, it is not always advisable to fight fire with fire  Watch yourown temper tantrums when dealing with theirs   A simple sit down, providing getting their attentionis an option and a heart to heart talk to let them express what exactly is upsetting them   Work ona solution but go halfway  Don't just let them have their total way and spoil them  Make sure theystill know their place in your home

I don't know where you were but in my hometown, if you were to even think of screaming at someone'schild you would get screamed at right back or reported  People around here are very confrontationalor in denial  so Hats off to you for making a diffrence that day but don't expect to get so lucky nexttime   Screaming at a screamer doesn't always work either  That child just may have been verycomfortable with their mother but very shy around strangers
