[QUOTE="InDaShop, post: 172641, member: 1295"] My wife and I are trying to come up with something to combat this very thing. My son is almost 4, and he goes everywhere, restaurants with us, sporting events, etc... We rarely get a sitter, not because of cost at all but because we want to have him experience as much as possible. He used to be an angel in public, but these "Trying 3's" he has changed to almost being a holy terror in public. He doesn’t scream or throw fits, he just terrorizes and runs around, and thinks it’s hilarious. We have seriously tried everything to reign his little ass in. And have had near zero success. Off the top of my head what we’ve tried: -Before going in somewhere explain expectations -Threaten physical harm and sometimes follow through on it (never in public, I take him outside explain why he’s going to get spanked then give it to him) -Rewards, Thank you’s, Atta Boys for good behavior -Threats of withholding (you act up or don’t stop acting up your trains are getting put up) Obviously every kid is different and every situation is different but what are you guys doing if you go in the grocery store and your kids wanders off a little then bolts? Or you are in a restraint and your kid decides to either climb over the back of the booth and torment the people behind you or sneaks under the table and hauls butt? Then gets far enough away and turns and laughs??? Even lining out expectations and him agreeing, it all goes out the window in the blink of an eye if something doesn’t go as planned inside. [/QUOTE]
