Once he's done he gets up and wiping tears away says, "I feel better now." Then it's done and over and in kid friendly I explain to him why it's not ok to push or whatever it is he did. My daughter on the other hand, my goodness she is 7 and still throws full blown tantrums but I send her to her room to do her screaming. Once she's done she comes out. It's hard there are days where all the screaming gets to me and I start yelling but in public my kids have thrown many tantrums and it's usually women who give the dirty looks and some are the older women like they forgot what's it like to deal with little kids. It happened to me just yesterday at the store, Tristan was being very loud but was happily talking and singing loud and this lady up ahead turned around and gave me the dirtiest look.Lorena Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02463906905578984761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519490105377840785.post-64940954523899758342010-10-06T22:26:01.429+11:002010-10-06T22:26:01.429+11:00People are weird.

I was letting him go for it, while I waited in line without saying anything. A little old lady glared at me and shook her head.

I can't believe how some people think they have the right to judge and criticise parenting techniques! Do they tell strangers how to dress, what to eat etc? Then don't tell them how to raise their children!Jackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17307287345268299072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519490105377840785.post-2541732128502613322010-10-06T11:25:39.798+11:002010-10-06T11:25:39.798+11:00PS - get that boy out of your bed now or you never...PS - get that boy out of your bed now or you never will, don't you know that when he is an adult he is going to be wanting to bring his girlfriends home to sleep in bed with you? :DAbout A Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269209864615247242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519490105377840785.post-22698009808564966402010-10-06T11:25:26.945+11:002010-10-06T11:25:26.945+11:00I could have written this post myself. I think a ...I could have written this post myself. I think a little empathy could go a long way for some people... how difficult and frustrating life must be when you are a toddler or small child. 'Spoiling' a child is just letting them have their way at all times because they have a tanty. Being a good parent is about not giving in (all the time), but understanding their frustration and letting them do what they need to do to work through their feelings, and being their to comfort them when they are ready. Taj and Keely are very lucky to have such a wonderful, empathetic Mamma. xoAbout A Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269209864615247242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519490105377840785.post-29428494143554792932010-10-06T11:16:42.436+11:002010-10-06T11:16:42.436+11:00Oh how I hate it when other people chip in.

As you mention above, every child is different and therefore everyone has to parent the way they want.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519490105377840785.post-23835542802986972512010-10-06T09:37:11.200+11:002010-10-06T09:37:11.200+11:00Mate, it's easily forgotten that kids are huma...Mate, it's easily forgotten that kids are human like the rest of us.

I politely told a stranger to back off last week after she said that Lenny (baby, teething Lenny) shouldn't be sucking on my wallet as I was buying bread. I felt empowered and good about my choice to put her in her spot. We all parent how we choose and what we deem best for our kids. Sounds like your approach is a fab one and if it works for you and your little guy, then it is right. xJgeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035619638845531138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519490105377840785.post-88369938059014185792010-10-06T07:39:10.510+11:002010-10-06T07:39:10.510+11:00I couldn't agree with you more Hayley.
