Hi there mamas and papas. One of the trickiest things we parents confront is a child that doesn't behave well in public. You set out for your nice family day, packing up the kids and trying to remember all their necessities, and then BOOM. Your kid flings himself into a full-on toddler tantrum, yelling and crying, red in the face, perhaps even throwing things. People are staring at you, sometimes even muttering things under their breath like "kids these days," or "not how I raised mine!" Let's face it, it's embarrassing or, dare I say, humiliating. In today's video, I reflect on my own experiences with this and offer some tips regarding disciplining a toddler, or an older child, in public.
Toddler discipline poses a challenge because you are not within the walls of your own home where you can talk to you child in peace without the worry of others' scrutiny and even imposes consequences, which are really punishments. So to me, step number one to dealing with this situation for us parents is taking the pressure off by telling yourself, "I'm going to do what works." If you are able to communicate with your child and you choose to discipline him, by all means do so. If you need to cut some corners, well that's ok too. Kids are kids and they will repeat whatever behavior you find objectionable, I promise.
For much much more, watch today's video and please weigh in with your advice and thoughts.
Thanks for watching! Melissa

The, "it can be handled as they get older" is what I needed to hear. My 2 year old still isn't talking so it is difficult to have a complete dialog about his nasty behavior. I've had to just hold him while he screams in public with a grin on my face. Just pushing through the embarrassment....
You're right...You feel extremely self-conscious in public when disciplining your child, it does change the way you handle it. You are right...be consistent
We always would take our son back out to the car. The first few times we would leave. After this, our son would calm down after we discussed behavior, then we would head back in. It really did not have to be done much after about 4 times, all that needed to be said in the store was "do we need to leave?".

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else is searching for how to talk to your child try Loctavan Teaching Toddler Strategy (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some great things about it and my partner got cool success with it.
I have two boys now ages 21 and 17. They each tried to throw a tantrum in public only once...as soon as they got loud, we took them outside and made them sit in time out right there outside the store (off to the side from the entrance so people didn't have to walk around us). They were told in no uncertain terms that they were not getting their way, and if they did it again they would lose access to their favorite toys when we got home. I think kids end up throwing tantrums because when they're in the "winding up" phase parents are too distracted by other things to pay attention, or believe if they ignore the kid then the kid will settle down on their own. We never let our kids get to a full blown meltdown stage. Instead we removed them from the area and made them sit in time out where they could calm down. We also didn't talk to them or try to talk them through how they feel. When they're upset they can't find the words to explain anyway, and trying only makes them even more upset. Later after they're completely calm we discuss why they got upset. If they start to become really upset again, we end the discussion until even later and try again. Now that they're older, when they get "meltdown mad" they tend to walk away on their own, find a place to calm down, and return later when they're ready to discuss the issue more calmly.
Thanks for the info. I have a 20 year old and a 2 year old. It is always nice to hear different ways of handling situations.
I broke down crying the other day.... I feel like I'm a bad mum and I have no control when this happens... My daughter thew herself on the floor in a clothes shop and wouldn't stop for 10 mins... I needed up counting down from 10-0 until she was calm
You probably an awesome mum. You seem like you doing the right things. I understand how you feeling cos I'm going through this right now. Sending love ❤ I imagine 3 years later things must be different!

Hello my name is IvonnElias I work in a nursery school and I take my 2 year old daughter but I can't get her to stop screaming and yelling at the top of her lungs it is very distracting and I'm afraid of losing my job what can I do she does it ever day at home more in daycare what can I do
great ideas
My three year old did this today in target. Just would not stop crying and whining. Fortunately my husband was with me so I was able to just take her to the car and dealt with her there while he stood in line. But usually when I'm alone I have to take away a toy or a privilege to get her to stop. And that rarely works the way I want it to still lol 😩
You are a great mom and an inspiration for many women. Keep up the good work!
TY so much, Jackie! I really appreciate that!!!
so... keep being a great parent! ☺
Hi, do you have any tips on transitioning preschoolers from co-sleeping to big girl/ big boy bed? I'm especially having a difficult time in this area. Thanks.
Felicia Lopez I bought my toddler new bed covers of her favourite cartoon character.. she found it fun picking it out etc .. helped with sleeping
Great tips I think I have done good disciplining my two children which are 6 and 7 years old. However, I am having a difficult time with my 3 year old nephew. He will hit my children when he is upset about me disciplining him. Plus my Mom gives in all the time at stores like you mentioned I know she gets embarrassed. But I noticed when he acts up I take what ever he wants to buy away and he stops.
Great!!!
Great tips. 😊 It's nice as they get a little older, you can just give them a look and discuss it later on. Punishment a few minutes later is fine, unlike when they're younger and it needs to be immediate!
These are some great tips!
thanks for the tips!

CloudMom sb ClownMom is clueless. "TRY to be consistent", "let it go", "address it LATER".
When children have no medical issues effecting behavior... Your child acts out/melts down because you taught them that is a good way to get what they want. YOU ARE THE REASON for the bad behavior. As a two year old my granddaughter starting with temper tantrums to get her way. THERE IS NO TRY... THERE IS NO ADDRESS IT LATER... THE VERY FIRST TIME she pulled that on me regarding picking up her toys. I told her I don't put up with that crap... any toys left on the floor would be put in the garbage. She stomped the toy in question (I had trouble not laughing) and I removed from under her foot. On the walk to the garbage she starting sobbing not want to lose that toy (a barbie of course). I offered her the deal where she picked up toys when told and that would keep them out of the garbage, she agreed. Total time invested, 95 seconds. That ended for good, her tantrums with me. I tell this story as someone who is just a parent and grandparent... how I behave with kids is just common sense. lol... I have a good story about dealing with a 6 year old's tantrum by suitcasing him but I already told one story.
"don't worry about what [ the public ] thinks" is the only comment from ClownMom I agree with. Mom's Disease [ parenting procrastination / inconsistency ] is an epidemic.... what can be done to give lazy parents a little backbone so they remember who is the child and who is the parent.
I will pass these tips on to my brother who just had a baby.
Thanks! Congrats to your brother!! :)
