I dealt with a 3 year old tantrum ALONE in public in a high traffic area.
Child laid out on the floor. I picked her up and told her that if this continues there will no toys, no fun, no tablet, no treats. I meant it.
My kid doesn't have another parent to bounce her tantrums off of. Those tantrums ended within 3 months.
I observe my friends kids' with two parents they can play off of, the kids go wild. My single parent friends' kids know that parent in charge has no time for bullshit and therefore punishments (aka deprivation) will occur.
