Making a child feel abandoned during bedtime exacerbates anxiety. Managing individual time with each child in a family. Plan the individual time ahead and inform the siblings. Every child needs individual parent time. Disciplining in public places.
Many parents find it embarrassing to discipline a child in public.
Consistency in discipline is important even in public places. Talking about the upcoming situation, making a plan, and setting expectations beforehand best avoid confrontations. If confrontation does occur, try to excuse yourself and take the child aside to a quiet place to discuss the problem. Remain calm and ignore the screaming and whining. Talk about the situation after child has calmed down.
