be careful what you wished for next time..:P

seriously, i really admire your patience and anger control. If any of my kids were to throw a tantrum in public, I would have bring her to the quiet corner and given her my lecture immediately.

But think keatkeat’s behaviour (the dancing and singing) is normal, kids couldn’t resist themselves when they are excited.

It's never easy to teach the difficult lessons. If it were, well then they wouldn't be worthy lessons to learn, I suppose. Erins last blog post..MY VEGETABLE MAN

Toni,
I would never have interfered or be troubled if it was a SPACIOUS environment. His dancing and swinging of hands and all of that were in such a ’sandwiched’ position, hitting onto his little bro and the people on his other side…its the ‘disturbance’ to others that pissed me off.

The other kids were not dancing. My boys are super crazy over lion dance that’s why they act like that. They even have their very own mini lion heads at home. So Binbin was shaking, while Keatkeat went nuts the moment the performance started.

Not solemn, but rather intense, ‘cos the performers were actually doing stunts on the poles, so everyone was paying attention to every move….and yet Keatkeat was distracting those around him with his LOUD singing and movements…*sigh*

Sorry that it was an embarrassing situation for you but it sounds like keatkeat was having fun! Were other kids not dancing to the music and such? Is it meant to be a quite solemn event? Glad he apologized! Tonis last blog post..Weekend pics

At one stage Malcolm loves lion dance too, but we rarely get to see one overseas. we even got him a mini lion dance head this new year when we were still in spore and he simply adores it

I can trully feel what you are going through and must compliment you for handling it without the BIG MAN around to help you. When i first became mom to my twin boys, I was very conscious of what public will think and hw they will look at me if I dont give in to my twins. But now having the 4th one..things have changed.Especially after I met an Australian friend who practice parenting skill from books she read. She thght me not to giv in to kids no matter hw young u consider them to be. So since then whenever my kids throw tantrums and bully or test my patients in public, I dont give a damn what others think of me..I just do what is right. Afterall it's me who gonna suffer the consequences for giving in to the kids not the onlookers. It's my kids not theirs. Sooner or later I believe with more educated parents, public will support my reaction of walking away if my kids cont to show their tantrums or whine. You have my support for doing the right thing All About Your Child! physiomoms last blog post..What happens when your kid shows tantrums in public?
