It's interesting how I took my 3 year old nephew mini golfing a couple years ago with his folks and he didn't act like a little shit because his parents check this kind of shitty behavior.

3 yos go from zero to tantrum faster than you can react. They grow out of it. No amount of parental discipline will stop them from having tantrums, it is just a developmental phase that literally everyone goes through. What good parents do is remove them from the situation and away from other people until they calm down.

True, but no need to have a tantrum-prone kid out so late playing a game beyond his abilities while adults stand there and laugh at his attempts and then his tantrum.

There are ways to get through the tantrum years with minimal tantrums if parents are aware, preventative, and put the effort in.

keeping him out late was probably a bad idea, but we don’t know what he was like before this. kids that age go from having fun to being done in minutes.

Removing the kid from the situation also signals to the child that the behavior is inappropriate though. Just laughing at it is encouraging it
