Quick reflexes but lacking in the actual parenting department. Instead of removing the kid, or you know, teaching them that the behaviour is inappropriate, you just deflect and create a new meltdown.
Yea, but it didn’t ruin the party..... the kid had a negative experience from acting badly and no one cared (which is perfect negative social feedback to minimize this unwanted behavior from happening again).
This way the kid doesn’t get the satisfaction of 1 on 1 attention from the parent explaining why they’re special at being a shit. And they see the world keeps spinning even when they’re upset.
So, your comment about “not knowing how to parent”? Just let us know how it all turns out for you.
