We all are fallible and because of our fallibility,we are bound to make mistakes,we all are not perfect! What we parent need the most in this parenting job we are in,is to STAY SANE! We all have our time/moment of insanity...when your child is in this moment,just exercise Patience and Perseverance! Be sensitive to the kids needs,there's a reason for the act(show you care by hugging,carrying,.etc) and you can distract(give him colourful toys,music/sound,etc) Parenting is a difficult job it frustrate but you only can make it simple. Learn and prepare well for it! |

Such tantrum from a child of about two years outside the home could be blamed on the parents. It is a manifest evidence of how the child has been brought up. Children will generally be shy outside the home if they have very good home training with discipline at home. A child refusing to be carried and blocking the road in a banking hall is a potential 'Agbero'. Such behavior if exhibited at home will not be a danger signal, because that will be understandable as the child is in his territory, where he is very free and could 'rebel' once in a while, because that is the home front where the child is in charge. Therefore, to deal with such a child takes the parents a review of their own effort at properly bringing up such a child. 3 Likes |

Baybe: Seun! we need an 'ignore' button on Nairaland o Lol, actually some people's mental state should be evaluated. I don't understand the reason for her rantings or is she having a nervous breakdown? Later same person will be claiming born again after all the cursing and insults! Even if we disagree with someone there are civilised ways of addressing issues. @ Op, well done for ignoring the rantings of what's obviously a very sick woman. 6 Likes |

I thank God I started "timing" my kids out early. Once I notice the restlessness or tantrum about to start I ask if they need a time out and the answer is always a big NO. I have also downloaded loads of educational games and apps on my tablet.These apps act as child lock and it always keeps them busy. |

tatiana009:The best I could do was ignore her cus I don't even know what she was talking about. I don't know where I'd start replying her from. She said I beat someone'e baby. I wonder where I said that. Seriously, how can I even beat someone's 2 year old baby? In public for that matter. The mother would just cut off my head . Her last post made lotta sense. That's what she could've posted since so other mothers could learn instead of ranting. Happy sunday ma'am. |

Folks, I don't know @tpia but I think what she (albeit in her own way) is saying is this: You cannot open a thread saying you felt like spanking someone else's child (in this case a 2 year old) and real hard too. How is that your business? Why would you want to do that? |

How is that your business?

Re: How Do You Deal With A Child's Tantrum In Public Places? by FBS: 8:00am On Sep 15, 2013 |
lalaboi:Thats not even the issue. Will the mothers allow it or not. Issue is, why would you want to spank a 2 year old kid real hard? A kid who does not belong to you. Na serious wahala you dey look for be that. Believe me man, spanking (a 2 year old) will NOT solve the problem. It will only make it worse. Try it and see. |
Re: How Do You Deal With A Child's Tantrum In Public Places? by lalaboi(m): 8:04am On Sep 15, 2013 |
FBS: I get the issue, it is only an intent but not an actual happening. I am sure a lot of people think of doing something in a "saint" state just because they are pissed but end up not doing it as they are not that type of person! Just cos the OP mentioned that she wanted to spank the kid didnt mean she would have. |
Re: How Do You Deal With A Child's Tantrum In Public Places? by FBS: 8:13am On Sep 15, 2013 |
lalaboi:Not taking it too far lol, but you should know that intent matters in a court of law. It literally means that if given the chance she would do just that. Anyways, the point is this, there are many ways to cool a 2 year old down and spanking real hard is NOT one of them. |
Re: How Do You Deal With A Child's Tantrum In Public Places? by Nobody: 8:20am On Sep 15, 2013 |
lalaboi:Thank you very much. That I said that didn't mean I was going to do it. And I'm sure some people also felt the same way. They born well to beat person baby. And you talking about opening a thread about it. Didn't you see the title of the thread? Did it read, 'I felt like spanking someone's two year old in the bank'. I just asked a question. As a mother/father, how do you deal with your baby's tantrums in public places? I never knew anything about 'terrible twos', and I'm sure most people didn't also, but I now know that. What I wrote up there is just an example of the tantrums. Pheww! Comprehension hard oo |

Baybe: I saw one at the bank yesterday. The child should be about 2 years old. He refused to be carried by the mum preferring to seat on the floor blocking people's way. If the mum tried to carry him, he started to cry. I felt like spanking him real hard . I pitied for the mother shaa, see disturbance .Tell me about it.My daughter is 4 and she still does it.When it happens,I either blackmail/bribe/distract her or hope her mum is near cos dat one no dey take nonsense from her!But when its good old daddy,she go dey form |

doofanc: terrible two ko horrible three ni. i simply would spank d living daylights out of d child.This point is undeniably true.I think as parents we have gone soft on our kids.Softer than our parents were on us.And it degenerates progressively.I predict that our own kids will even be softer still on their kids.When I was a child and we were passing Kingsway,I couldnt tell my my mum or dad we should stop and go in there.But now kids virtually drag their parents to the mall,and even have the nerve to throw tantrums there. |

Ayatullah: Leave them na, make dem dey follow the "oyinbo" way of "trainning a child". A parent MUST learn how to control a childs environment not the other way round. When you give in to their whimps every time they cry or say YES any time they rebel, they begin to think its the normal thing to do. That's why a child overseas can over dose on drugs, shoot people or commit suicide just because things aren't working their way..no proper trainning! When a child grows up with YES parents, what do you expect? Mother: you can't attend a party on a weekday cause you have to be in school early the next day Child: if you don't let me go, I'll slit my wrist Like seriously??! When you no stop am when e b 2yrs, na for 14 yrs you wan stop am? Teach them @an early age that things should be done a certain way before age 4, after which it will be difficult to correct. Train a child (not pamper) the way it should GROW 1 Like |

Ayatullah: Very correct, I have seen ppl talking about all sort of things here like its normal because the kid was just 2 yrs old. Well its not the kid's fault at all, it's the parent's fault. A kid has no reason to misbehave like that in public if not that the parent's condone BS. If u raised ur baby properly, instill discipline in a timely and well calculated way, u wil not have a child that gives u trouble. If u are too lazy to do that, well, deal with whatever problem or embarrassment the kid brings u and if u beat that child out of frustration of being embarrassed in public, u should be jailed for child abuse and for not knowing how to do ur job of raising a kid properly. Some think it is impossible to train a little kid because of the common statement "he/she's just a baby" and that is where the mistake is. The right time to train ur kid is exactly that moment when they are just babies, so when they are 3,4,5 yrs old, they are already tamed kids that wont give u any troubles hence the reason why u'd have no reasons to beat ur kids. But most parents wait till their kids are around 5 and even 7 or thereabout before thinking of trying to instill some discipline and that is a bit late most especially for an instinctively troublesome kid. U might have to be forced to give them some spanking before they could listen but that is not the kid's fault, it's ur fault cos u started too late. 1 Like |

Brings back memories of my son between the ages of 15 months and almost 3. Jeez! I saw hell, I stopped going to church and going out, he was an awful TERRIBLE TWO. No matter the distractions, snacks, telling off etc., it never worked in public, I think he just knew I was not going to shout or spank him in public. As soon as we step into the house, he becomes an angel. He is 3 and a half now and has changed, so I definitely went through that horrible phase, I think some of them just do it for fun. |
