What to do when ur child does not listen to u out in public

jean, you practice with your child every single day until the child learns that he/she must obey you everywhere,& at all times.

 At home or out in public.  You have to be consistent with your child and don't threaten something you will not be able to do.  Keep your temper in check and speak calmly and back up your words with action.  Earn your child's respect by behaving as an adult at home and in public and he/she should learn in time(and if you start early in his/her life) to mind you when in public as well as at home.

When your children don't listen to you out in public then...take them back to your car, or into a bathroom in a nearby store, and calmly with a stern voice and mannerism, tell the children that it is not acceptable how they are acting.

2.) If you were bringing them to a store for a treat, at that point, don't buy the treat! You don't ever reward bad behavior.

3.) Take them directly home, and tell them when they can behave in public, and listen to what you tell them to do, then you will try that day out again. 

4.) When you have your second outing, if the children don't listen, repeat the process above. Eventually, the children should learn. 

5.) Don't brand your children- tell them it is a bad behavior or act, not that they are bad. 

6.) Don't say anything you won't back up!
