I think what the hardest part of when a child is having a tantrum is when your out in public. It's one of those things as parents that we have to get used to the fact that people are going to stare and make their comments. I am one of those parents (and I know some poeple out there don't agree with me or hate shopping with me) that will let the child have a full out tantrum in the store and I continue to shop. Because honestly if you leave the store they are still "winning" regardless of them wanting to be there or not. They want you to stop whatever it is that you are doing so all the attention is focused on you. People are going to stare and you just act like nothing is going on, I suggest carry your IPOD at all times, I sure do.

Your actually the safest in the store, your on video not hitting or threatening your child, while a fit. Where you are at home and the neighbors hear and call the cops, cops come out, talk to the kid and he makes some sort of elaborate story.

My previous fson was a screamer and my neighbors knew it, so I wasn't really ever concerned with them calling the cops but I suggest get on your neighbors good graces to avoid that. You can explain that you have a screamer and most parents will understand exactly what your talking about.
