want. be strong. don’t break because your child has to learn that he/she can’t manipulate you like that.
you’re right, jane. parents should learn to resist the urge of giving in to a child’s whim when he/she throws a tantrum. when parents ignore a tantrum, it teaches a child that he/she will not get what he/she wants by throwing a tantrum, otherwise, the child could, indeed manipulate his/her parents and would keep throwing a tantrum to get what he/she wants.
it’s embarrassing when a child throws a tantrum in public, but sometimes i can’t help but be annoyed when i see kids do it and the parents can’t seem to do anything
