My wife and I raised six children all very close in age except for the last one...he was an -gift- eight years later! The idea that my three year old child would conduct an argument with me in a public place would not register in my brain or theirs... That simply was not allowed to happen... We did it though training and godly discipline... Throwing a temper tantrum is a form of passive rebellion, basically a child telling you I'm going to make your life miserable until I got what I want and be in control... Child are not the center of the universe, the faster they are taught that the better behaved they are...

I can only imagine what a MONSTER you would be called if you posted that on MSM forums! Even by so-called Christians.

Spot on....

I can't tell you how many times my wife and I were complemented on our children behavior when we took all out in public places...

Most were - teach me how you do that-? Some with tears in their eyes...

Unfortunately, most did not have the will power or patience to take control over their children...it also starts at an early age training them...

Some of the elements of our training :
First time obedience...
The interrupt rule
No temper tantrum allowed
No name calling when angry
Mom and Dad always absolutely in agreement in front of the children so not to allow a opening to pit us against each other
Forgiveness and repentance was required when conflicts happened

Were we perfect, LOL, but we worked on it every day...
