Agreed...things should be taken care of at home first. And the Internet helps kids understand things greatly.
It's more about ending the situation to me, I don't have to smack my kids - it's more about stopping the problem, now! For me, I simply have to snap my fingers and point to the floor or wall, and push ups or chairs start, even the corner works. I often don't even have to speak.
But I don't care if you're getting your teeth looked at, at the airport, buying cloths, eating out, whatever it is. Male or Female.. it's no different.
At home we teach them how to act for eating out by having a family dinner. They can act perfect, every time even with guests over. But when you go out to eat they see the other kids acting stupid... "when" your kids start to act up, if they aren't used to stopping on the spot to listen to you, without question... you're screwed - and the older they get, the more screwed you are.
It doesn't mean you have to be aggressive with them but does mean you shouldn't enable them.
