make your child stop screaming or I will
patience is a form of kindness; please show children kindness.
The amount of people who reblogged this and were serious is actually upsetting. I’m pretty sure none of these people really understand how hard it is to just stop a child from crying sometimes. Kids cry and act out for a reason, it’s never just to irritate people. Threatening a child is disgusting and wrong, even if you’re just “making a joke”. Also, do these people realize how stressful this situation can be on the parents as well? It’s hard enough trying to discipline your kid in public, even harder when everyone around you is judging or threatening you.
Agreed. And let’s look at screaming. Screaming literally means I want or need something but I’m not sure how to articulate that. To get angry at a child because they need or want something is not the proper way to react. Sure, sometimes kids want something they can’t have and no one likes to hear a loud screaming sound, but try looking through a child’s eyes. “I really like this, and I want it, and no one is listening to me! why won’t anyone listen to me or understand me?” Show some compassion; children go through so much unexplained stress everyday.
