I hate being splashed in the pool, but I am aware that kids, when playing, may not realise about others around, so I move away when kids are playing rough in the pool. But maybe be that´s just me and my common sense.
On the other hand, I don´t understand why Zakmama didn´t get their kids to understand the need for being considerate to others. Having worked with children in several occasions, I know how important it is to tell them (on the spot) when a certain behaviour is not acceptable, even a small child can understand a simple explanation and apologise accordingly to the victim.
As for tantrums I think they should be ignored, even in public places! . There is nothing worse than paying attention to a child in the middle of a screaming fit. While a tantrum in a one y/o is an important part of their development and he is not being "bad", a tantrum in a child older than three means that he has learnt to manipulate their parents to get his own way (ie, I don´t like being here, If I throw a tantrum I will get back home).
"children should be seen but not heard". What a bully statement. I feel sorry for anyone who thinks that way. Nothing brings more joy than hearing a child happiness.
I agree. Neither attitude is nice.
