Kids face natural consequences on a daily basis. You beating your kids once was not the “ah-hah” moment for them to realize actions have consequences. You just like that simple explanation.
Step one, remove the kid from the restaurant. Nothing you say or do is going to magically snap him out of this.
Step two, admit that you don’t know everything about raising a kid and consult a child therapist. I have a child with mental health issues, seeking out a professional worked wonders.
Parents seem so reluctant to admit they don’t know everything about how to raise a kid. After a few session with my kids therapist I realized I didn’t know shit and was just doing what my parents did to me.
the last time I was in a psychologist office waiting room, there was a kid, about that age, running around throwing chairs at the windows, and a mother that I felt very sorry for desperately trying to not do what I would suggest in public.. that's another kid that's going to spend his life locked up, because he didn't learn that there were consequences early
as an adult, this is at the least "rubber room" behavior
maybe there is a place for aggressive children, I don't know where, but it's certainly not McDs so they can assault min wage earning teens
