[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 262377, member: 2423"] My daughter M used to have meltdowns every time we went clothes shopping because she wanted EVERYTHING and I only wanted to buy her certain things. I did need to stop taking her shopping for a while until her medications were straightened out and she had learned coping strategies about making choices that we could both live with. In terms of inviting strangers to join in watching a public tantrum, I totally disagree with Dr. P. Most kids don't want to tantrum and don't feel good about themselves after a tantrum. I think it's completely demeaning and disrespectful to the child for others to observe the tantrum. Any tantruming child should be removed from the scene of the "crime" and dealt with in private. A child needs to be understood and worked with, not embarrased in public, to behave better over the long run. [/QUOTE]
