Hi all, new to this but could do with some advice or statagies on how to deal with my daughters behaviour in public.
At home and Nursery she is well behaved and for the majority of the time she listens to what we ask of her and follows her routine without any major problems.
However when we are out in public she 'plays up' and wont listen, it's like she know's she can misbehave, for example i had to take her to physio, and she wouldnt follow the instructions of the therapist, simple instructions like 'sit here'....she just runs off, I try not to get angry and keep my cool, however she will just run 'riot' when in front of people, i have tried putting her in 'time out' but she just gets up and runs around. The therapist had to remove a toy from her as she wasnt listening, and wouldnt follow a simple instruction.
I tried sitting her on my knee, making a game out of it, being firm, getting down to her level and explaining...etc etc tried all sorts. But it's like when we are out in public she 'shows off' and misbehaves .
As soon as we came out of the room she went back to her happy, playful self and the 'good' behaviour returns..grrrr
Any advice wouldnt be appreciated...
Many Thanks
