[quote=Anonymous]Kids need to practice public interactions so, as a parent, I wouldn’t keep my child from situations like this but try to use it as a learning opportunity when she’s calmed down. I have a DS with ASD and have been through this. In the moment, calmly tell DD that the food truck is out of cookies but you’ll get her a cookie as soon as you can. You have to keep your cool while DD is losing hers. Deescalate as much as possible. Ignore the busybodies who try to intervene. They are simply ignorant. If you must talk to them, tell them to keep their comments to themselves because they aren’t helping the situation. Then leave as soon as you can. No apologies.[/quote]
