If the tantrum is done in a public place, it would
be helpful if you take him to a safe and quiet
place away from the public so he can have
enough time to cool down, as well as avoid
disrupting others, perhaps in your car or
somewhere that is not so crowded. Peaceful
spots in the park, for instance, can be a good
place so you can talk to your child and attend to
his needs properly. But do remember NOT to
leave him alone, as abduction cases nowadays
happen anywhere. While we have heard of some
parents leaving their child in tantrums alone in a
public place and just observing the child from a
distance, it is still pretty dangerous and
something that parenting experts discourage
parents from doing. Aside from that, you can hurt
your child’s feelings, as he might feel that he is
being abandoned.
