| I believe they also advise on one of the nanny shows that if the kid is acting up in public, you immediately leave, go home and they go to time out. I know this sucks for you, but I have left a cart full of stuff right in the store and left before. Only had to do this once, never happened again. I use time out and have a special chair reserved for it and set the timer one minute per year of age. Works well for me. I usually can make my child behave just by getting down to eye level and talking in a stern (not loud) voice what I expect of her. |
