Yet some people think chilren don't have the right to be children and go thru the usual growing up learning that comes with public road trips. What next..make sure you give your kid a chill pill before they leave the house. SHEEEEEZ
Kids don't learn by being allowed to scream and holler and run around like nuts in public. They learn by having the adults in their lives stop them from such foolishness and give them the negative consequences (which will vary according to the child and their age).
For some kids, being kids will include pushing your child down and taking away his/her cookie. Is that acceptable since they're just doing what kids do?
