[QUOTE="Foxi4, post: 4832935, member: 203855"] Your observation is very apt, I studied about it during my psychology course and it has to do with the very simple mechanism of rewards and punishments, although it may not seem to do so on first glance. What happens mentally is that the child is subconciously checking its footing with the parent to see how far it can go in negotiations. The parents are afraid of the social stigma of [I]"causing a racket in a store"[/I] and for the sake of keeping up appearances, they bend to the child's wishes wheras from the start, the answer should just be [I]"No."[/I] and if the fuss continues, they should finish their shopping quickly and leave the store. Bending to the crocodile tears [I]teaches[/I] the child that goals can be quickly achieved by means of aggression, be it mental such as yelling or physical like tugging at the sleeve etc. This is a [I]"reward"[/I] which instills aggressive behavior and the more often it occurs the more frequent and elaborate will be the scenes as time goes by. It looks innocent enough, but it's actually a [I]very[/I] effective way to teach a child that by being aggressive, it can obtain immediate real life benefits. The parent should make it clear that no negotiations are about to take place and that his/her decision is final - instead, they engage in banter with the child which informs the child that it has equal footing, which it shouldn't have since the parent is supposed to be a figure of authority. Of course this is a complex subject and I'm only touching the tip of the ice berg, not to mention that I'm not exactly an authority on the subject, but long story short, by allowing this to happen, you're [I]"tickling the kid's Pavlov"[/I] so to speak.
