[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just want to say that I'm in a different group where moms are begging strangers to help be their "village". The example the mom gave was a child having a meltdown over not getting candy at the checkout line. The woman praised the cashier for also telling her child "no and you need to listen to your mom." Apparently the kid instantly stopped whining. In the comments people are so thrilled when strangers stop their kids from doing dangerous things at playgrounds, aren't playing nicely or are having tantrums.

Just wanted to throw that out because there are differing views and plenty of people wouldn't have minded the cashier saying that to your child.[/quote]

As a parent, you need to tell your child no and if have consequences for misbehavior - i.e. you will not go in a store for two weeks if you throw a fit.  However, this is a different situation where the child has special needs and may not understand like another child can.  They are wired differently.  You need parenting help if you need a stranger to step in.  OP does not and had it under control.[/quote]
