Have you ever had your child who misbehaved in the public by throwing a tantrum and crying etc, when you didnt buy what they wanted. How do you handle the situation? Do you give n and buy them what ever thwy want or do you dont? What is your advise for those in similar situation?

don't give in to their demands. Other parents would understand this situation.

Giving in to such demands would send signals and indication to our children that we are vurnerable in public.

In situation like this, remain calm but firm.
lUCKY FOR ME because my kids never misbehave in public in such a manner.

But i have seen many parents struggling in this situation.

i am sure u will black!...... my sis faced the same problem when she took her elder son shopping... ended up buying him something from toys' r us! Bribery works wonders for kids... especially when they know our m.o. Obviously they know us better than we know them... tat's where the problem lies.... we need to know them better and act accordingly!

Loving our children is our tantamount responsibility but we should know when to give in and when not to.

We seriously need to educate our children regarding the value of money.
