wikked: What are your thoughts on how to deal with disruptive children in public....
And how do you feel when a church service, or dinner at your favorite restaurant has been ruined because of an unruly child?
Are you noticing less and less parents actually taking their disruptive children to task over their behaviour?
Do you think it has anything to do with the discipline laws we currently have?

Well what do you mean by unruly children, as that can mean alot, maybe the child suffer for a disorder that you might not know about. As the child may look normal but have a mental disorder, take autism for instance it effect children in a very wide range. Just something to think about when judging others.
Thats just my opinion so no offence intended at your thread.......

NO!
My kids aren't disruptive. End of story. I can't control what other kids do in public. If a kid is disruptive in public like at a restaurant or a movie...so what. They are kids. It happens.

I stopped taking my daughter to church when she was a toddler. She had ADHD & would disrupt the entire congregation. It was such an unpleasant experience, I just gave up. Yes, they had a nursery... when it was open. Half of the time, there was nobody there to watch them. And I couldn't concentrate on the sermon with her bouncing all over... & under... the pews!

Do you think that perhaps that may be the reason it happens more and more...because if the mentality is "they're kids...so what"....when does a parent think is the best time to teach a child how to behave in public?? (Behaviours are learned/taught process isn't it??) And certainly you can't teach your children how to behave in PUBLIC at HOME....they are two different environments...
btw...i am not knocking your answer...i am merely asking a question regarding it...

I think we tend to blame the parents, and yet it's not always that simple. My sons used to look at other toddlers like they were weird when they were having a tantrum, and mine were toddlers then too. When they got older they'd ask me why kids behaved like that...and I never could answer them. I still can't.
My sister has two daughters. The older one also never threw a tantrum in her life. The younger one can't be taken to a restaurant. She behaves fine otherwise, but for some reason if she goes to a restaurant, she goes ballistic behaviorally. My sister and parents don't understand it, can't find a reason for it, and have just learned not to take her to any. She's 5 now, and will hopefully begin to outgrow this, but it made me stop blaming the parents. She's not a bad kid, and not ADHD...just for some reason can't behave in a restaurant.

I think we blame the parents because parents have a lot to do with it, not everything, but a good chunk. I was spit-terrified of my father and if I pulled a stunt like screaming in a church I would've regretted it. I think a bit of the problem is too many parents want to be their kids friends, not their parents... if that makes sense. Not all of them, but some of them. Parents will punish their kids for doing something wrong, but that's not a "friends" place.

Some kids when very tired will misbehave, even the best of kids will misbehave. There are some kids that will act up as soon as they see other people. Some kids are sensitive to the Environment they are in, so your neice may just Not like that restaurant and the smell of the food that goes with it.

I think before jumping to conclusions that a child is unruly you first have to think to yourself is this child suffering with something like ADHD ot Autism, i mean a good friend of mine everytime she brings her 8yr old son out has to put a t-shirt on him that says i am not a bad boy i am an autistic boy, but she shouldnt have to do that ,but people stare at him if he is having a bad day and you can see it on their faces untill they see the t-shirt. i think its unfortunate that people can still not tolerate children in public.

I have a tolerance for disruptive children in public. As I've stated, mine was. But that doesn't mean I didn't try to calm her down. There is nothing more irritating than when a child is acting up & the parents do absolutely nothing to contain him/her!
I was at a pizza restaurant with my oldest grandson a couple of years ago. While we were sitting & trying to eat, the owner's daughter came over & was sitting with us. I'd never been there before & had never met them or their child. Wouldn't you think the parents would've been worried about their child sitting with a total stranger??
She also didn't have any shoes on & was placing her bare feet on our table. I'm sorry... that's a big red slash to the Dept of Health. And to boot, she was taking my grandson's french fries & eating them, herself!!
All the while, her parents were oblivious as to what their child was doing until I said something to the child & asked her to please leave us alone! I mean, really!! What DOES it take for some people??
Now, I'm not saying this is ALWAYS the case. But if parents know their child is acting up, at least something should be said to that child. Again, this is JMHO.

It's not just one particular one...it's any place that they go out to eat.

For the most part, I think disruptive children are the product of disruptive emotionally immature environments, dysfunctional lessons create dysfunctional results, be it parents or what have you.

I threw a fit in a store once when I was 4 years old. Oh boy, did I ever learn! Mom immediately left the store and led me the 1.5 miles back to our house by my hair. Never happened again.

This is a western world phenomenon...it seems to me that this generation of parents just don't have a clue....it drives me nuts to see young parents utterly incapable of controlling their kids in public spaces...

The parents I spoke of were not American-born. They could barely speak English & didn't when speaking to their child. They still did nothing to control her. Not just something in the western world.

This surprises me too. Young children crave structure and discipiline. When they push, they need you to push back, not cave in to them.
On Dr. Phil yesterday, there was this woman who's 16-yr old son liked to ride roller coasters until he passed out. So she banned him from the theme park, but she kept driving him there whenever he wanted to go, and was asking Dr. Phil for help on how she could stop him from doing it. Helloooo! STOP TAKING HIM!
