General Guidelines for Promoting Good Behaviour in Public Places

1 ( ) Ask your child to get groceries for you or place them in the cart. Give your child educational instructions, such as

”Get me the green can, please”, or “Bring me the bag of pretzels, please”. Don’t forget to say “please” & “thank you”

when appropriate.

2 ( ) Involve your child into a friendly chat regarding what you’re doing. For example, you might say, “We’re going

to make sloppy joes with this hamburger meat. You really like sloppy joes, don’t you?”

3 ( ) This is also a good time to educate your kid. For example, “Bananas grow on trees. What else can you think of

that grows on trees?” or “All fruits have a skin or cover on them to protect them from rain & bugs.” By your

frequent physical contact, praise, teaching, & pleasant conversation, your child will remain much more interested

in the trip. By actually helping you, he will learn that stores are a fun place to visit.

4 ( ) If your child breaks one of your guidelines, immediately make him sit in “time-out”. This can be any place that

is generally out of the normal flow of foot traffic. In a grocery store, you can just point to one of the tilefloor squares

& firmly tell your child to sit on that square because he walked away from you. In a restaurant, you can simply

turn your child’s chair around. If the restaurant is not very crowded, you can place your child on another chair about

3 to 4 feet away from you. As soon as your child is quiet for about half a minute, tell him that it is okay to get up or

turn his chair back to the table.

5 ( ) Generally the better your child behave at home, the better he’ll behave in public. When you are having trouble

in public, step up your efforts at home. Remember, praise & attention, coupled with firm discipline, are the tools

for teaching your child. Discipline alone will not work. Using praise & attention with discipline will work to make

your trips to stores & restaurants much more enjoyable for both of you.

A Make your child obey the rules.

B Teach your child about this world.

C Teach the child road safety.

D Involve your child in the activity as much as possible.

E Firm discipline & punishment are the tools for teaching your child.

F Be a disciplinarian if your child behaves badly.

G Teach your child to behave properly.

H Include your child in a pleasant conversation.
