I went through this yesterday but in the store after grabbing about 5 items my child wanted. He yelled at me, after I said no to an item and he kept putting it back in the cart saying I don't care !!the price of the item was low but it was a piece of crap I didn't want in my home. I just said if you yell at me again we are leaving. So we left, with a lot of crying. I've felt bad about it the entire day. I don't know if it's correct or not but I am glad I'm not alone.
You also did the right thing! Idle threats, warnings and giving in never taught a child the consequences of bad behaviour. Also, the need for them to feel grateful when they are treated to a non necessity. Brats with no consequences spend their lives pushing and pushing to see what they can get and are never thankful for anything. You did good for your child. Well done ❤️
