Elya just had the worst tantrum today and in the shopping mall. I was sweating, puffing, reddening, trying to keep my calm and trying to hold her still while it seems all the passer bys were staring at us!
How do you deal with tantrums in public places?
At home its 'easy', I will let her cry/shout it out and she will eventually calm down and ask for a hug. She hardly ever had a big tantrum in a public place - whiny sometimes but not like the full blown one she had today.
Looking at it in her perspective, I should have known better! I stretched her day too long.
Anyway my baby is sleeping quietly now, but I know she will wake up in a bad mood. After so much crying that what happens most of the time!
How do other mothers deal with tantrums?
