[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 262504, member: 6479"] God no. Not for easy child kids, not for difficult children. Two reasons, in my opinion! 1) My sister would not have been "shamed" into stopping. Ha! So many of our difficult children have social unawareness as part and parcel of their issues. She would have enjoyed every minute of making a scene, because it would have "served Mom and I right for not buying her what she wanted". She knew her public behavior was embarrassing---and she USED that against us. So for my difficult child, oh heck no! Total backfire plan! 2) Horror. Inviting [B][I]strangers[/I][/B] to [B][I]mock[/I][/B] your child for misbehavior is poor parenting, plain and simple. If your child is smart enough to realize they're embarrassing themselves, fine---that's great! But actually encouraging strangers to stop and join in the public shaming of your own child? That's....I don't even have words for how disgusting that is to me. :) [/QUOTE]
