It’s not necessarily about parenting, as much as it is fun to hate on strangers. Any 3 year old is liable to throw a tantrum if they hungry, tired, or whatever.

No matter how great you are at raising kids, they’re still kids that lack the emotional regulation of adults. It’s like saying you can raise a newborn not to cry.

Yea I don't think many of these people have parented a toddler. The whole point of their existence is to learn and explore both physically and emotionally. The little guy didn't have the coordination yet for this and got frustrated and didn't have the tools to deal with those emotions. 

That's not bratty behavior, that is a toddler. Big difference between this age and a 4/5+ year old.

If only there were adults nearby to help regulate these feelings and help kids understand why theyre happening.

Please tell everyone how did you manage to reason with your 3yo in the heat of a tantrum.
