There are right and wrong ways to handle this though. A parent can make a bigger fool of themselves than the child by shouting loudly and even swearing at the naughty infant in an attempt to get them to behave. I really hate it when I see parents shouting at their children in public. Mr GG is a lot more tolerant than I am in a shop where one of the girls has a strop. I'll have a few stern words with them and generally they stop. Emily has thrown herself to the floor on a few ocassions and I've walked away. Without the audience she wanted, she soon gets up to join me.
