(I saw such excellent parenting today, thought I would pay it forward.)
1) Allow your small child (3-5yrs old) to poke his little fingers and nearly topple over fragile merchandise while you look at things that interest you. When the employee asks the child to be careful, this does not mean you should step in and be a parent. By all means keep looking at stuff.
2) Allow your child to run outside by themselves and keep looking at items in the store. Sure they are only about 4 years old, but they know their home address and can find their own way home when you can't find them...right????
3) Allow you child to climb on counters and lean over the side. A small concussion isn't as bad as it sounds. After all....you have stuff you want to look at!
4) No child really hears you calling their name until you have said it 24 times...keep calling him.
He's not ignoring you. Really.
5) Children are stupid and cannot see through your idol threats, so keep making them, they just can't hear you, as you have not threatened them 24 times yet.
