[quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately if the kid didn't notice her mother was out of line, she probably did notice her mother was corrected in public by a random stranger. In your defense, it's hard to think on your feet. If I would have said anything I might have tried something like, "some days are tough but it's worth it in the long run. Anything I can do to give you a hand?" I would have been tempted to empathize with the child since that worked well with 95% of my students (matching the kid's facial expression and saying "you're really upset now" "you really want that toy" "mom hears you, but no toys today, sorry,") but I would not count on that working in a Walmart and definitely would not count on the mom wanting that intervention. If a similar situation was happening in my school building I might try it, but not with a random stranger.[/quote]
