ESTABLISH CLEAR RULES
Before entering the store or any public place, establish rules that your children must understand clearly. Children need to learn what types of behaviors are acceptable in various public settings. So if at school recess it is okay to run and scream while playing, this is not allowed in the supermarket because it can disturb other people.
Talk to your children about the importance of not yelling and walking by your side so as not to get lost. If they do things right, they can have positive consequences such as choosing a treat before leaving the supermarket . On the other hand, if they do things wrong, they may run out of park that afternoon.
PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING
If you know your children you will know that probably if they are sleepy or hungry they will behave worse. In this sense, avoid going to the supermarket at a time when your children should be sleeping or when they should be having a snack. Children must be calm to enjoy the moment, and to be calm, you will have to have their basic needs well covered, and also emotional needs!
Kids don’t want to misbehave at the grocery store, but they need your guidance to know what behaviors are acceptable from those who are not. In addition, they will also need to understand things from respect and unconditional love. If it is necessary that you use the waiting time, do it, but always with respect for your child and not as a punishment, if not so that he understands what is best for him / her in each case.
