I believe there are some kids who whenever they stop buy in a store or any establishment and see something they like whether school stuffs, toys, dress, games gadgets or anything they want to have it immediately and demand you to buy it. The mother's notion of course is that she is working for his future for his daycare and school stuffs, food on the table and other expenses right. How to discipline a child when he really demands something he wants for you to buy and displaying tantrums in front of you in a store? My cousin just take him out of the store even though he cries a lot then eventually forgot about what he wanted in the first place. I am really different maybe because if I were her, I'll give him what he wanted and buy him the stuffs he like. Spoil him for short. I am a nurse. but am I examplifying a not so good act If i was the mother?. When I was in college, the good method to do for kids is the reward/punishment system. If the kid did something good in school, he will be rewarded for that matter that whatever he verbalizes that he wanted might be given to him if he is doing a good job.

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well it is a common sight to see children crying at the stores and i see the tension on the faces of the parents also on how to appease their children. I know while some parents find it difficult to control their children in such situations, others fulfill their children's wishes so as to avoid any unavoidable circumstances in front of the people.
I think it is very important to teach children the realities of life and not to argue with their parents under such circumstances.
What say?

I like the last statement you said that is is very important to teach the children the realities of life and not to argue with their parents when they are very demanding, uncontrollable and having tantrums with their wants and wishers. But several kids is hard headed sometimes but its natural but I believe one step at a time they will mature and understand that everything you like will not be given to you. That in the future when you get older, if you would want something you would work hard for it. And as early as toddler days, imprint in them the value of needs first than wants and the value of money. Thanks for your response. I greatly appreciate it. Merry christmas!
