[quote=Anonymous]My biggest problem with kids crying in public is the way parents respond to them. I hate being at the playground and seeing a toddler get frustrated or upset, start crying, and then be left there while their parent calls to them to stop crying. I've seen parents tell their little kids they're going to leave, tell them to shut up, threaten them with time outs, and try to shame them by pointing to other kids who aren't crying. Pick them up and comfort them! I'm not talking about tantrums in stores, just regular frustration where the kid could be redirected after a little bit of attention and reassurance. How hard is it to go over, give them a hug, acknowledge their frustration with whatever didn't go the way they wanted it to, and help them get interested in something else? Very, apparently.[/quote]
