Kids are horribly spoiled. Hmm.. I wonder who let that happen? As a former retail slave I saw a lot of parents indulging their children, but more who plain out ignored the way they acted. In fact, I saw too many parents that not only accepted their childs bad behavior, they encouraged it as their right.
Check out any toy department sometime. Kids open packages right in front of parents. They take out riding toys, skateboards, ect, and "test" them. And parents smile and look on.
Come on. What is the point of that? To keep them occupied? Do they think that letting the kid ride a skateboard in the store will tell them if it is safe to ride outdoors?
They do it to pacify the child and keep them busy for the moment in the store.
Parents are the reason kids are spoiled.
I could take my kids anywhere and be proud of their civilized behavior.
I never yelled at them, or spanked them. What I did do was make sure they felt safe with me, and that all actions have consequences. It is part of teaching a human to be part of the world.
If you can get your child under control before age 3, everything else is cake.
I would never have humiliated my children to teach them a lesson. But then again, my children were taught right from wrong by example and not the "do as I say not as I do" way I have observed in my retail life.
