If it wasn't my kid I would tell him
"Hay there little man. What a big mess you made how about you and me pick them up. I bet I can get them up faster than you. How about if you win I will give you a candy." Than have him help pick up. When he was done he gets a candy. I than take him to his parents and say "He made a big mess but he was a such a big helper and helped pick it all back up. So I gave him a candy for being such a big helper."
That is if he does as asked. If he rubs and screams I will take him to his parents and ask them if I can help them with anything. After I mention I found him having so fun with our neatly stacked clothes.
If it was my kid I would whoop her ass because I didn't raise such a little monster. Lol jk wouldn't spank her ever but I would put the fear of God in her lol
From my experience with kids, especially kids I don't know, that would never work.
I had to spend a good 10 minutes trying to convince this one kid to leave us and our glowsticks alone on NYE and go back to his parents.
They won't scream necessarily, they'll just stare at you and most likely ignore what you're saying and continue on anyway. They aren't going to take advice from someone they don't know
From being a mom, a school teacher, a Sunday school teacher, working with kids since I was about 12, and from taking several child development classes I can assure you the majority of kids when given the opportunity to prove them selfs they will be well behaved. It is all about how you approach the kid and how you speak to them. Just by asking a kid to stop something no matter how you put it they will not respond as you want. Or at least rarely will they. If you treat them like they are the one in control when really you are in control I find you can get them to do what needs to be done.
I used to work with kids and it did work for me to do similar things to help them clean up. So, I find it as a good option to make clean up time fun. However, in this case, the parents are supposed to teach the boy not to do it in the first place. If you makenit again, he woukd do it again in the next store. They have to learn it is not ok to play. Theyr are not toys and it is not a place for fun.
You don't need to punish but you should teach them that it wasn't right for them to do it. Maybe have them apologize or help pick up would show them right from wrong.
I think it means if you allow your kid to run around in a store and not watch them.
But if you are just a step behind them chasing them to keep them with you I never think you a bad person/parent I think kids are just hard sometimes and sometimes no matter what you do they act like a cat with its tail on fire lmfao.
Honestly I’d let them have the little freedoms whenever I can clean up after without much harm done. Won’t let them ruin anyone’s day or anything but run around and be wild. I used to play in the woods unsupervised when I was a kid and I have all the scrapes, bruises and bites to prove it. Now it’s cars, loud noises and skyscrapers. God forbid all they know about the world is fortnite and YouTube
If kids are being "free" anywhere, it woukd be very hard for you to stop it. Kids won't know the difference of its ok to do this in X place, but nit in Y, unless they are taught.
