Just curious what you think. My dd came to the supermarket with me and I wouldn't let her go intot he cafe so she moaned a bit then lay face down on the floor (not crying or kicking etc, just lying there). If it happens at home, I just ignore it until she gets up and comes for a cuddle then I tell her what she did wrong so I did the same today- but got sooo many dirty looks. She lay for about 3 mins then I asked her if she wanted to smell the flowers and she came over and all was forgiven. She did it again about 15 mins later but was a bit more stubborn and whingy so I waited a few minutes (ignoring her)then counted to 3 (warnig her what would happen)then picked her up and carried on shopping.
Again, I got so many dirty looks.
Other than putting her in the trolley even when only buying milk is there anything I could/ should have done differently?
She will be 2 next month
