chosen: It can be hard to discipline your kids in public without appearing to be a bad parent. Here are some tips to help you stay calm and handle the situation in the best way possible:
  
  1. Keep your cool - remain calm and professional. Do not shout, scold or get into an argument with your child.
  
  2. Think through the situation - try and consider different angles before responding or disciplining your child in public.
  
  3. Address the behavior - not the person. Avoid making criticism or comments about your child’s appearance or general demeanor. 
  
  4. Praise when you can - whenever possible, use positive reinforcement or praise when your child is acting well.
  
  5. Choose your words carefully - make sure your words are clear and concise. Avoid words with negative connotations or judgemental language. 
  
  6. Use logical consequences - focus on teaching your child through a logical consequence rather than extravagant punishments.
  
  By remaining calm and using strategic words, you can effectively discipline your children in public without coming across as a bad parent.
