[quote=Anonymous]When my kids were that age I used to take a ziplock baggie full of Jelly Belly jelly beans. I kept if for emergencies, and when it looked like things were starting to head south I would sneak one out and pop it into their mouth. Your roll as a mom on a contained flight is to do your darndest to make sure that the captive audience of other passengers is not subjected to your kid's loud bad behavior, even if it means compromising on how you usually parent. So bend on the candy/screen times/treats, and completely nix the "you hurt my feelings and that isn't nice" parenting. Be as firm and direct as you can (none of that mommy doesn't like when you say mean things bs). Just stick with firmly spoken nos, redirection, and bribery. Eventually your kid will be able to handle a long flight, but until then, you must deal with him in a swift and effective manner.[/quote]
