I know for me the first time I left him do it but went where there was no one around and explained to him that when he was done and presentable in public we would finish what I had to do and then would leave but was not all about him.
In a restaurant well we did leave with Take out one time he did not believe would do this but he saw that I did so now better there also.
I think we should as parents make them understand that when we say something that is what it will be. I do not believe in hitting my children but I think the lost of priviledges and then the talking to them and explainning even if need more than one time is the best.
This is just my view and my method and seemed to work ok with my oldest son. The baby got to see my oldest son and seems to follow what he does and rememeber at times bringing something for them to do is a good thing because they do get bored fast when not involving them ok. Get them to help also does wonders in public places
