I don’t know if they’re embarrassed to leave a place if Jackson throws a tantrum, or what but that was the deal when I was very small, and for my nieces and nephews. That’s how they learn, if you want to continue doing fun things, we have good behavior, tantrums or fit throwing and we leave immediately and no more fun things like going to the park, going swimming or having a meal at a restaurant. One of them should immediately remove Jackson from the environment while the other stays behind to wrap up any checks or gather up supplies they had that weren’t immediately needed, or wait for food boxes. It’s nbd and the toddler quickly learns what behaviors are acceptable and unacceptable in public.
it would also be easier if they had started to teach him these skills when he was smaller and they were in places not 30 min away from home and a 30 min trek back to their car.
(Speaking of tornado sirens from our last thread, I totally forgot it was Wednesday and was in the shower when they started! We’re scheduled to have some thunderstorms in a little bit so I made sure I finished quickly to check my phone to make sure it was still a drill
So are you Jenn
