[quote=Anonymous]Or, discuss with them that the way to respond to behavior like that happening in the setting of a funeral (or any other public event or setting where other people are conforming their behavior to social norms) is to pick up the child and walk out. Let the child be feral outdoors or in the car, etc.

This is the biggest change from my own childhood in the 70s that doesn’t make sense to me. When did people decide it was okay to let their kids stay in public settings while acting out like this? It used to be the standard protocol that when a child in public misbehaved, one of the parents or guardians would remove the child until the child settled down. Missing dinner or whatever was the price you paid for supervising your kids in early childhood and respecting the rights of others to be free from screaming feral behavior.

The entitled attitude that children should be tolerated in all situations no matter their behavior is the biggest negative change in modern parenting and I simply cannot see how it benefits kids. I’ve worked with kids on and off for 41 years and I’ve also put kids in juvenile detention and eventually graduated them to adult prison, so I think I have some sense of how things shake out when kids don’t grow up with healthy boundaries and discipline.[/quote]
