[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would think they aren't punishing in front of others because they think it will cause a more disruptive meltdown and that would make others uncomfortable. [/quote] Yeah, my normally well-behaved kid had a meltdown the other day at a coffee shop patio. I had warned him not to do something, he did it, and the (previously communicated) consequence was that we had to leave. I had to strap him into the stroller and walk out while he was kicking and screaming. I got some dirty looks from people and it was frustrating.[/quote] I feel this. I grabbed my kid and scolded her pretty sharply this morning because she wasn’t looking both ways before crossing the street and someone gave me a “I can’t believe you’re being so harsh” look as they walked past. I hate feeling mean but being safe street crossings (especially with her bike!) is important to me.[/quote]
