Kids listen to strangers usually, they are apprehensive not knowing what to expect should they not comply.You got it!
Its a failure to get creative and figure out how to impart the message you need to impart to any aged kid. WHen my son would try and stand up in the cart at the store I would bend down and smack the ground with my hand and tell him how hard that ground was and how much it would hurt to fall and hit his head on it. He always sat down. I have done it to kids Ive passed in the store and on EVERY one it has worked.
It's far easier to discipline other kids than my own for that reason.
I've seen far more moms with kids who do stand up and worse who don't bother with any discipline.
Honestly, how do you miss being so unobservative?
