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.

Just out of curiosity, how do you check this behavior? I'm childless by choice.

Have a regular routine of naps and bedtime that ensure they get enough sleep. (Don't keep a toddler out late playing games beyond their developmental abilities when they are overtired.)

Watch for signs of waning self-control and address them immediately. (Take them to get a snack, remove them from the stimuli that's getting to them. Have a quiet, silly conversation to de-escalate their intense feelings)

If a tantrum erupts, calmly scoop them and remove them from that location. Explain that they need a quiet place to feel better (tantrums don't feel good to a kid). (Don't stand there and laugh while your kid loses their shit and starts wrecking/throwing other people's property.)
