Again yesterday, I was at the grocery store only to hear that same little kid hollering at their parent 2 aisles over. Well to tell the truth, it really wasn't the same kid, but it might as well have been. It seems that most every time I am in there, some random child decides to impose their will upon their parent by yelling at them.
I would like to say they were just tired and just trying to get the parent to take them home, but that seem never to be the case. I would like to say they were crying, because they were hurt and just waiting for the parent to comfort them, but that also is not the case.
Almost eveytime the child has decided that they want some item that the parent has not put in the shopping cart and the child has decided to holler (in a very loud and whinny voice) until they get their way. AND... in most every case the parent eventually gives in, and gives them what they want.
Does anybody not understand that they are reward their children for this behavior and they will do the same thing, only louder and longer next time they want their way?
How do you handle this situation?
