My child throws a fit every time she don't get something from the store.. What can I do to stop this.!!?

Answer 1

This used to happen to me, so as I was getting my son ready to go to the store, I would lay out the rules. I'd tell him NO you won't get nothing at the store I'm there to get this or that, but nothing else. When we got to the store, I would remind him of what I said. He would pretty much behave in the store, if he asked for anything I would tell him again what I said before. This helped many of times. Sometimes I would tell him that I would only buy him something worth a dollar, he quickly learned his numbers and was able to figure out what he could get with a buck. Hope this helps

Answer 2

Talk to her before you go to the store. Tell her what you are going to buy at the store and let her help you find it. Tell her you can't buy anything besides that. You might even have her help you put together a shopping list. Make it clear you can't buy anything besides what is on the list. Also tell her if she throws a fit, that you will leave the store wihout buying anything. Make sure you don't buy anything that isn't on the list also. Try a short trip to the store the first time with a couple of items. Be prepared, she has already trained you to get what she wants, when she starts to act up leave the store without buying anything. If you are at the check out alread, just finish checking out and don't give in. Keep in mind:
1. You are the adult
2. Others have been in your situation & know what you are going through. Don't worry about it.
3. Your daughter isn't hurt, she's just trying to get her way. Letting her have everything she wants is not helping her grow up in the real world.

Answer 3

Good one. I would tell her she can't go to the store with you because of the way she acts. The outing will end up being more important. I remember when my daughter was little and would start to throw a fit. We would walk right out of that store, and go home. If I had to finish my shopping later, then I would. When she got a little older. she would try to embarrass me into doing whatever she wanted. That didn't work either as I would then throw a bigger fit or doing something so outrageous, she would be the one thoroughly embarrassed. (This is truly embarrassing for you as well, but think of it this way. Do you know any of these people who are watching? Probably not, and chances are you'll never see them again.) This only had to happen twice, before she figured out that Mom would always win. Kids are smart cookies. They'll test you, and test you. Just be up to the challenge, and don't let them dictate how things are going to happen. Be a strong but loving parent. Good luck.

Answer 4

Some say spank, others say ignore it completely, and everyone say never never give in! It can be really hard in the store to have a tantrum attack happen, My 6 year old use to do this. Now I just gotta get my 2 year old and 1 year old through it. I do spank my kids when they throw a fit at home and the occasionally pop at the store, (some people get offend by spanking). If you find that this is not working simply don't take her to the store(if possible). Deny favorite things toys, candy. My kids now when they have done really bad when they can not go to grandmas house.

Good luck:)
Don't be embarrassed either most moms have been there :)

Answer 5

Try ignoring the tantrum. If she throws a fit, let her. Keep an eye on her but don't make eye contact. When she finishes her tantrum, just say "Are you done now? Let's go" If she continues the tantrum, pick her up and leave the store. Go some place like the bathroom or car until she stops then tell her in a stern voice that her behavior is not acceptable and she will not get anything from the store. Most importantly, don't give in to the tantrum

Answer 6

stop getting her hopes up that she will get something at the store. Oh well, it happens to most of it. Hopefully she will grow out of it. Just be patient and firm. Say no. Then just ignore her and explain that you are here to get just some basic things that is needed and NOTHING else. Explain this to her before you leave, that might help. If you are married, you might have to leave her at home as a punishment (sort of). Just say if she doesnt behave, than she stays home. And if she doesnt behave, say she will not come the next time. But, if you end up buyng her something every time you go out, stop. It makes kids think they will get something all the time, thus they kind of get mad and selfish and spoiled. Spoil her at special times only. And maybe once in a while get her a treat like ice cream, but nothing materialistic. If you have buy her something like clothes, say its a need not a want. That's as much as I can tell you . Good luck.

PLEAZ dont beat your child...it not that bad a situation and no chold needs to get beat over anything... a little spanking will do, but not in this case.

Answer 7

Don't give in and she'll get the message.

Before going to the store, tell her where you are going and that you only have money for the items you need to purchase. If possible, give her the option not to accompany your to the store. Tell her, and have her repeat it, that if she acts out she will lose a certain privilege (such as no TV). If she throws a fit anyway, stay calm and assertive, "I told you that I did not have money for anything extra, and that you will not be allowed to watch TV for the rest of the day (or whatever privilege you said she'd lose) because you have chosen to act this way". Do not argue, do not negotiate, and follow-through with the consequences that you had warned her about.

Parenting is the most difficult job in the world. You have to be tough and consistent, but also supportive and loving. Clear rules with consistent consequences, age-appropriate communication and expectations, and positive reinforcement of desired behavior are crucial.

Answer 8

When she starts, tell her to stop. If she doesn't, be prepared to leave. Try to go without her. After a few times of that, when you take her again before you get out of the car, tell her that any crying or begging you will leave the store.

Answer 9

You don't state how old she is.The thing that has always worked for me in disciplining is firmness and consistency.
When she ask for some thing you tell her no.Calmly.-Firmly
When she insist you repeat to her (looking at her straight in the eyes) in a low tone calm firm voice-I told you no and I mean no- do not ask me again-do you understand? And give her a consequence(such as) if you ask me again we will leave the store immediately.If she does ask again-do not respond to her simply leave the store.This is going to take a couple times before she gets the picture.If you carry it over to other discipline being calm/firm and consistent you will be amazed at the difference in your child. I do not recommend spankings unless she is in direct rebellion to you.Even then do not do so in anger.Most important get on the child's level and explain to them the reason why the behavior isn't acceptable and that you still love them. A good parent is one that teaches and respects their child as they expect to be respected.Discipline means to teach,not to beat.

Answer 10

First of all, set the expectation in advance by telling her what is going to happen when we get to the store.



Secondly, do something to help her understand that getting something from the store is a treat that has to be earned by helping around the house without being asked.


Create a sticker chart to reinforce it. When the sticker chart gets a certain number of stickers, she gets to pick something from the store she wants.

Tie the reward to a behavior
