was doing bathameesi with some other kid or adult in front of you, would u scold ur kid in front of everyone right there or in private later on? or what else would u do in this situation?
Re: if ur kid..
well if my kid is misbehaving i will tell him politely not to do it.usually he listens,but if he is rigid at that time ,then i ll give him the timeout.
Re: if ur kid..
I wont scold but i'll tell firmly to stop this behavior.
Re: if ur kid..
I never want to raise my hand on my childrens and I never will. This is not the solution. Violence was never a solution, but then they say "someone who doesn't listen has to feel" :D
Jokes aside, better not...
i wod lower me tone of voice, go down to his/her eye level and say what ur doing is bad stop that. this way they get the message and i am not embarassing them infront of any one just saying stop it.
I think this is the best way.
Re: if ur kid..
I wouldnt fully scold my child, but will firmly let her know that I do not approve..
Sometimes, if u dont do something about their actions, other feel that ur not parenting the child well or ur not telling the child from right or wrong.. so in order to avoid such judgements, I would politely but firmly let my child know that they need to stop..
I find, distracting them is the best solution
Re: if ur kid..
why do care what other say? parenting is parents business not strangers...
Re: if ur kid..
I guess cus if u do deal with the problem at hand, it shows that ur doing ur job. If ur not stopping the child, from lets say, climbing on a table or throwing objects (as my child does) then what does that say about me? that I dont care what my child does at someone else's place? That I dont care that they hurt themselves or someone else in the process? So yes, in a way it does have something to do with others may think... but the real issue is, if im not doing such things, then really i am not being a good parent... IMHO
Re: if ur kid..
Mian unko murgha bana doon ga, but Alhumdulillah they are good kids , nothing like that ever happened.
Re: if ur kid..
wud call him in the corner and then 
him and send him back 
Re: if ur kid..
i think i will be growing up hitting kids fearing that they will turn out like me.
Re: if ur kid..
Prophet Muhammad (SAW) has forbidden parents from scolding their kids in public.
Narrated `A’ishah: The Prophet took a child in his lap … and then the child urinated on him, so he asked for water and poured it over the place of the urine. (Bukhari) … Embarrassed, the father sprang forward. “What have you done, you silly boy” he shouted. His arm shoved forward to grab the child away from the Muhammad, his red face showing his anger. Fear and confusion showed in the face of the child. Muhammad restrained the man, and gently hugged the child to him. “Don’t worry,” he told the over-zealous father. “This is not a big issue. My clothes can be washed. But be careful with how you treat the child” he continued. “What can restore his self-esteem after you have dealt with him in public like this?”".23
^ yeah..i know this guy and his father used to beat him and scold him in front of people mostly relatives which is even worse..and now the kid is big and he very much dislikes his dad, disobeys him, insults him, doesnt care about him at all, and to this day he remembers those bad childhood memories using it as an excuse for his despicable behaviour and is just a tyrant basically..hes a ruined man..and he beats on those less powerful than him..
Re: if ur kid..
I would distract my kid, I’d just be like ‘come here look at this!’ because that way they stop misbhevaing and concentrate on what you’re showing them 
Or I would look at them in the eye and firmly say ‘stop it’ and that’s it…hopefully they’ll get the idea 
sweety..ur first idea is ingenious!..
Re: if ur kid..
I would firmly tell them to stop at that moment. If they continue, I will leave everyone aside and sit with my child for a while because sometimes kids do it to draw their parents' attention. I think it's a good idea to bring it up with the kiddo more than once that what he/she did was not right and why.
Re: if ur kid..
i would be proud that my bachcha told the kid off. the other kid was probably a brat anyways. i would be like "woo hoo". in my mind of course. and then be like ok kid come along, let's go home.
Re: if ur kid..
^ LOL Ruiner ..
.. what sometime irrates me is that at the Kindergarten, when some ppl cannot control their own kid, they blame it on other kids, like oohhh you are doing this because the other kid is doing it, just to justify that their kid is not the nauthy one but the other is the one who is starting.
I tell my kid to stop, sometimes I can be firm, but you gotta be when she goes all wild in the supermarket and wants those stupid candies that they have at the reach of kids. Sigh its hard being a good parent.
