[quote=Anonymous]Mine is good 90% of the time at nearly 3.5. 
Grocery store, restaurants, library, show etc. 
We worked at it by having immediate consequence of removal if she was not behaving up to now. And I will do that now too. 
But my grocery store trip is not a meandering 45 min trip, it's 20 min tops to a place she likes and knows people. Restaurants are mostly ones she's been to but some new ones and we sit well before she will get hungry to account for the wait. 
We don't go to places like target with her (too much temptation).

I do pack a small bag (my purse or she takes her backpack) with play-doh, water, small snack (I eat it sometimes) and a small toy or a waterwow book. We don't use all that stuff most of the time but it happens. I don't give her my phone for entertainment in public places. 
I'm also one of those preparers so I always have tissues, wipes, bandaids, hair ties, pens, headache meds, feminine products in my bag to share with companions or strangers. Adding more things is not a big deal. [/quote]
