To most he probably just seemed like a naughty child and it’s extremely hard and somewhat embarrassing always getting ‘the look’ from everyone passing by like you’re not doing a good job while your child is screaming and running amok or that you’re just ’letting’ them behave in an inappropriate manner.

Having mentioned he also had a 3 year old, this man spoke to my son so calmly and kindly and asked him questions about dinosaurs which deferred his attention and he eventually was able to get to a better emotional state.

Please be kind to parents (and children)… sometimes all is not what it seems.
