  1. You need to teach them how to sit when you tell them to at home and that way you won't have problems like this. It takes patience and if you have to discipline them in public then do it, because only you are responsible for your children's actions


  2. Firstly I am not totally against spanking, for some children it works.  It's how you approach them with the discipline.  If you're angry, frustrated and out of control, they see this as a sign they have gotten to you and they continue to test your limits.  I've used bits and peices from all kinds of sources for parenting, as I had 3 very different children.  I used 1-2-3 magic, but only the parts that made sense for the child I was dealing with. I will say that I didn't have a problem with my children interupting me while I was on the phone, and they behaved really well out in public.  All I had to do is put up my fingers 1-2.... and they knew they were out of line. I didn't have to raise my voice, and I was calm and firm.  Embarrasment tools for some children work, my youngest didn't like being made to stand in the corner or facing a wall in public.  And if I mentioned the people watching her act out, she would clam up. They need to learn shame, guilt and to have a conscience and yes fear too.  But they don't fear an out-of-control irrate parent, they just see you as someone that is easily manipulated, and they don't feel protected by a person like this.  They do lose a sense of security when their parent doesn't have coping skills.  And how do you teach them to cope if you can not?

  3. give them the face and pull out the belt and tellthem ur gonna spank them  if they dont sit down it works for me  but if that doesnt work tell them you will give them some candy that will really sit them down

  4. Well firstly, this is something that should be ingrained in the child from teeny-tiny... but mostly take them aside away from other people and talk quietly to them, speak firmly and sternly and let them know that that kind of behavior is not acceptable. Dont negotiate, dont let it slide.

  5. Read the book 1-2-3 Magic.  It's  basically about counting to three, then giving a time out if the behavior was repeated or another inappropriate behavior took place.  It also suggests taking away toys or privileges if timeouts are in effective.  You should never hit a child.  There is always another option.  Take them to the car for a time out.  Hitting doesn't teach a child anything but fear.  If it worked the behavior wouldn't be repeated.  Just follow through with what you say the consequences will be.

  6. Time-out, taking privelidges away, it may not work at first but when you find that one thing that they cherish the most you have found your golden egg. Take them to the bathroom or car and buckle them in the car seat for 1 minute of their age and don't give in. That way they have to sit still and use that as the punishment as well.
