Question

what is the worst tantrum you ever saw in public? the worst tantrum i saw was at cvs this girl who looked like she was about 4 or 5 really wanted these lisa frank pencils she was crying and screaming soooo loud at the top of her lungs. she wouldn't let go of it. her mom was saying give it to me and i'll put it back. she continued to scream. my mom told me some people shouldn't have children. another bad tantrum i saw was this boy throwing himself on the floor at target.

Answer 1

Funny you should mention a tantrum at target.. I was at target with my then 4 year old daughter. She wanted a certain toy, I told her no, and she proceeded to throw herself down on the floor and scream. I picked her up and carried her all the way from the back of target to the front with her screaming and trying to get out of my arms and had to force her in her car seat and went straight home. Im surprised no one thought I was kidnapping her:) It was so embarrsing though.

Just because a child throws a tantrum in public doeant mean the parents are bad parents or shouldnt have children... they may handle a tantrum differently at home than in public but may be concerned about how people will precieve how they are handling the situation. Tantrums happen - but the best thing to do is remove the child and yourself from the situation not give in to and argue like the parent in your first example did.

Answer 2

The worst tantrum I have ever seen is in an obvious place for screaming & crying kids: Wal*mart.

This boy screamed so much he was about 6 years old too. His mom was I guess trying to get him to try on a coat. I heard his mother frustratingly forcing him to behave. He was jumping up and down trying to get away. He did actually run out into the main walkway screaming and his mom chased him. I followed to see what would happen. He made it to the bedding dept where I saw his mother stopped him and spanked him. He sure was upset there. Then his mom pulled him by the arm back to the boys clothing. I could still hear him crying when I went to the checkout.

that was a terrible thing for your mom to say! little kids have tantrums, and there is not always much you can do about it! for all your mom knows, that little girl might always be good, and she just happened to have a melt-down that day.

of course, proper parenting and discipline can stop tantrums quite effectively, or prevent them from ever happening at all (although most kids will have a few in their life, even with the best parenting!).

i did see a little boy once, he was probably 3, freak out in a grocery store because his mom wouldnt buy him fruit roll-ups... he was screaming and kicking, and he knocked all the boxes off the shelf. in the end, the mom just bought him some. so there is an example that your mother wouldn't like! you can bet that boy has tantrums a lot, if he is always getting what he wants out of it.

Answer 4

I have seen more tantrums in Walmart than anywhere else.

The absolute best of all is from a video clip about condoms. This 3 or 4 year old boy has a tantrum (10 out of 10) in the grocery store. The clip is designed to be funny by the way.

I have the clip if anyone is interested.

Answer 5

Some children have tantrums, and some do not. I have been told they run in families, and have wondered if they may be an inherited trait. One of my girls had them, and the other one did not. Yes they throw themselves on the floor and stamp their feet and act unreasonably, and it is often because they cannot get something they want . There is no need to be embarrassed by it, but a good way to handle the tantrum ought to be found and shared with other parents What should I say or do when my child has a tantrum?

Avoid saying anything until your child has calmed himself down. Trying to talk to or reason with a child who is in the middle of a tantrum usually makes things worse. Comments meant to calm your child down like "do you want people to think you are a baby?" or "you are embarrassing me" increase your child's anger AND get in the way of letting your child learn how to calm down on her own.

The essence of self-calming is that children have to learn to do it themselves. Your major role is in deciding when they can have a chance to practice their calming skills. When your child starts screaming or getting mad, quickly evaluate the situation to see if it is a serious problem, such as an injury. If it is a simple problem, such as the blocks falling down, let your child try to handle it on his own.

Once you see that your child can quiet himself, it will be easier for you to stay out of the situation. Remember that a child's energy for a long tantrum almost always comes from the adult who is trying to help stop it. Without that extra attention your child's tantrum will stop escalating.

Of course some children may continue to have tantrums in spite of your best efforts to teach self-calming skills. If your child's tantrums seem full of rage, involve hurting others, or are only one of many behavior problems, please contact your health care provider during office hours for further help.

My daughter threw a tantrum during Communion, in front of the whole church.
She wanted something, I don't remember what. It was time to walk back to our seats. She pulled away from me and laid down on the floor, right in front of the altar and started kicking and screaming.
I started to walk away, thinking she would follow me, and she didn't. So I turned back, scooped her up, and walked out with her -- kicking and screaming.
It was awful.
By the way, she's 26 years old now. People are probably still talking about it, but she has grown into a lovely human being, with a son of her own.
